Ingredients
– 6 eggs
– ΒΌ cup mayonnaise
– 1 teaspoon curry powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 600 grams firm white fish fillets (such as ling, perch, or snapper)
– ΒΌ cup milk
– ΒΎ cup plain flour
– 2Β½ cups panko crumbs
– 3 teaspoons garlic powder
– Cooking oil spray
– 4 burger rolls (split and toasted)
– Tartare sauce
– Mini cos lettuce to serve
Instructions
1-Gathering and Prepping Ingredients: First, boil 3 of the eggs for 7 minutes, then cool them under cold water, peel, and finely chop. Mix the chopped eggs with ΒΌ cup mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon curry powder, adding salt and pepper to taste, then refrigerate this mixture for later. This step creates a tasty egg salad that adds a special twist to the burger.
2-Gathering and Prepping Ingredients: Next, cut the 600 grams of firm white fish fillets into pieces that are about 3 cm thick and 10 12 cm long, then pat them dry with a paper towel. This helps the coating stick better and ensures crispiness. Whisk the remaining 3 eggs with ΒΌ cup milk in a shallow bowl for the egg wash.
3-Coating the Fish Fingers: In a separate dish, place the ΒΎ cup plain flour and season it lightly. In another dish, mix the 2Β½ cups panko crumbs with 3 teaspoons garlic powder, along with some salt and pepper for extra flavor. Coat each fish piece first in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
4-Coating the Fish Fingers: Then, dip the floured fish into the egg and milk mixture, making sure it’s fully covered. Finally, roll it in the panko crumb mixture to coat evenly. For added crunch, repeat the egg and panko coating to create a double layer, which makes the fish fingers extra crispy in the air fryer.
5-Cooking in the Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking. Arrange up to 8 fish fingers in a single layer inside the basket. Lightly spray the fish with oil, then air fry at 200Β°C for 5 minutes.
6-Cooking in the Air Fryer: Turn the fish fingers over, spray them with oil again, and cook for another 5 6 minutes until they turn golden and crisp. This method keeps the fish moist inside while giving it a perfect crunch, and it takes just about 30 minutes total for cooking. While the fish cooks, split and toast the 4 burger rolls in the oven or on a pan for a few minutes.
7-Assembling and Serving: To serve, spread tartare sauce on the toasted burger rolls. Add mini cos lettuce leaves for freshness, then place two fish fingers on each bun. Spoon the refrigerated egg salad on top for a creamy finish. For a complete meal, serve with air fryer chips and optional coleslaw on the side.
