  1. Pat the cod dry and cut it into thick, even fingers about 2cm wide. Season the flour with the salt and black pepper.

  2. Put the seasoned flour, beaten egg and panko breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes.

  3. Coat each piece of cod in flour, dip it into the egg, then press it into the panko until evenly covered.

  4. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes. Brush the basket or crisper plate with a little cooking oil and arrange the cod in a single layer.

  5. Air-fry at 190°C for 4 minutes, turn the fingers carefully and brush with the remaining oil. Cook for a further 4 minutes, until golden and opaque in the centre.

  6. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air-fryer basket; cook in batches if needed so the coating stays crisp.
