Ingredients

  • 1 pound to 1 1/2 cod fillet cut in about 6-8 chunks
  • salt and pepper to season
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tbsp egg + 1 water
  • 1 cup cracker crumbs or cornflake crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the Lemon Honey Tartar Sauce

  • 1/2 cup low-fat or no-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • zest of half a lemon finely minced
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, crush crackers (or corn flakes) into fine crumbs, about a cup. Pulse the 1 tbsp of vegetable oil into the crumbs.
  2. Season the cod chunks with salt and pepper then dredge them in the flour.
  3. Next dip the flour dredged cod chunks into the egg wash and finally into the cracker crumbs. Press the crumbs onto all surfaces of the cod nuggets to get good coverage of the crumbs on all sides.
  4. Preheat the Philips Airfryer to 180 degrees C. Place half the cod nuggets in the basket plus use the rack to cook half on the upper level.
  5. Set the timer for 15 minutes. Remove from basket and serve with a garden salad or some Airfryer homemade french fries.

To prepare the Honey Lemon Tartar Sauce

  1. Simply blend all of the ingredients together well and let sit in the fridge for the flavours to combine until ready to serve.
  2. You can make this sauce day in advance too for best flavour.

Recipe Notes

To add extra flavour to the nuggets, consider adding, 1 tsp of many of the following to the flour dredge: dried dill, garlic powder or chilli powder.
