I love the flavor of this air-fryer catfish. I’m not a big fish lover, so any recipe that has me enjoying fish is a keeper in my book. It’s wonderful served with a nice rice pilaf and corn muffins with butter and honey. —Kelly Williams, Forked River, New Jersey

Ingredients

4 catfish fillets (6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 large eggs
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups honey mustard miniature pretzels, coarsely crushed
Cooking spray
Lemon slices, optional

Directions

1. Preheat air fryer to 325°. Sprinkle catfish with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs, mustard and milk in a shallow bowl. Place flour and pretzels in separate shallow bowls. Coat fillets with flour, then dip into egg mixture and coat with crushed pretzels.
2. In batches, place fillets in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10-12 minutes. If desired, serve with lemon slices.
