Air Fryer Swai Fillet Fish Recipes

Air fryer swai fillet fish recipe that is easy to make at home. I love air fryers because they use hot air to cook your food quickly and with little or no fat at all! Swai is incredibly good for you; it’s low in fat, filled with protein, and has more omega-3 fatty acids than almost any other fish.

What Is Swai Fish?

Swai fish is a type of catfish that comes in fillets. It can be used in place of most any kind of white-fleshed fish you want to cook.

Swai fillets are found in most grocery stores and at a reasonable price. You can find swai in the seafood section near other fish varieties, or you can also get it at Asian markets.

The swai has a mild flavor and firm texture, making it great for recipes that call for frying or baking fish.

Swai has only about 25 calories and 2 grams of fat, and one serving gives you about 100% of your daily need for vitamin B-12. This swai fillet recipe is simple and delicious!

Air Fryer Swai Fillet Fish Recipes

Ingredients

2 swai fillets (6 to 8 ounces each)

1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 egg white, beaten

How To Cook Swai In An Air Fryer?

Rinse the swai fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt on both sides.

In a small bowl, combine the flour and enough cold water to make a thin batter. About 1/2 cup of water should be enough. Add more water, if necessary.

Dip the fillets first in egg white and then dredge them in the flour mixture until they are well coated.

Place the coated fillets in an air fryer basket.

Cook the fillets at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and tartar sauce if desired.

Recipe Notes

Adjust the cooking time for thicker fillets. Air fryer cooking times are based upon the thickness of your food, so adjust your cook time accordingly. Make sure to seal the basket tightly with foil or a cooking clip if you use one.
