Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and beer until combined. The beer adds flavor and helps create a light, crispy coating.1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 egg, 1/4 cup light beer
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F and spray the basket with olive oil spray.olive oil spray
- Pat the halibut pieces dry with a paper towel. Then dip each piece of halibut into the beer-egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Dredge the fish in the dry coating, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.8 oz halibut fillets
- Arrange the coated halibut in a single layer in the basket (cook in batches if needed). Spray the tops of the fish with olive oil spray to help the coating crisp. Air fry the halibut for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- While the halibut is cooking, char the tortillas over an open flame on a gas burner or in a cast iron pan. Spread a small amount of fish taco sauce on each tortilla, then layer with shredded cabbage, a piece or two of crispy halibut, sliced avocado, and cilantro.avocado, fish taco sauce, cilantro, taco slaw

Notes
- If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat setting, heat it for about 5 minutes before adding the fish.
- When dredging the fish in the breadcrumb mixture, press gently to ensure a thick, even coating. Don't be afraid to coat the fish generously for maximum crunch!
