Ingredients
- 1/4 cup roasted peppers
- 1 pound fish fillets
- 1 1/4 cup seasoned panko
- 1/4 cup minced celery
- 2 tablespoons light mayo
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
- 3 scallions
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- black pepper
- olive oil spray
- lemon wedges
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
Equipment Needed
- Air Fryer
- sheet pan
Instructions
- 1
In a mini blender, blend together the roasted peppers, garlic, and paprika until smooth. Mix this puree with the mayonnaise and set it aside for later use.

Arrange the fish in the basket of the air fryer and cook at 400°F for 6 minutes, or until it is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork. Once done, transfer the fish to a large bowl, allow it to cool, and then break it into small pieces. Clean the air fryer basket.

In the large bowl, combine the flaked fish with 1/2 cup of panko, diced celery, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, one egg, chopped parsley, sliced scallions, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- 4
Portion the mixture into 8 equal servings, roughly 1/4 cup each, and shape them into patties. If the patties are too crumbly, incorporate a bit more panko to help them hold together.
- 5
Crack the remaining egg into a bowl and whisk it lightly. Carefully dip each patty into the egg, then coat with the remaining panko, ensuring to remove any excess coating. Lightly spray both sides with olive oil.
- 6
Air fry the patties in a single layer at 400°F for 8 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Cook in batches if necessary, until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve alongside lemon wedges and red pepper sauce.
- 7
Alternatively, place the fish in a preheated oven at 425°F in a 9 x 12-inch baking dish. Bake until it easily flakes with a fork, which should take about 10 minutes.
- 8
After forming the patties, spray them with olive oil and bake in the oven until they are crispy, approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side.
