Recipe guidance

Crispiness Control

Pat the fish dry before breading and spray the crumb coating lightly with oil. Wet fish can shed its coating.

Doneness Cues

Fish should flake easily and reach 145°F. The coating should be golden and dry to the touch.

Reheat In The Air Fryer

Reheat fish at 350°F for 3 minutes, then assemble wraps fresh with cold slaw.

Storage

Store fish separately from cabbage leaves and slaw for up to 2 days. Reheat fish in the air fryer and assemble fresh.
