For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the panko mixture. Ensure the cod fillets are frozen solid before breading for the best results. If you don't have ranch seasoning on hand, you can make your own by combining dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.

In a shallow dish, whisk the egg with a pinch of salt until light and frothy. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs and ranch seasoning mix, ensuring they are well blended. (5 minutes)

Dip each frozen cod fillet into the whisked egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge the fillet in the panko-ranch mixture, pressing gently to ensure a thorough and even coating. Place the breaded cod carefully into the prepared air fryer basket and spray lightly with nonstick spray. (10 minutes)

Step

Air-fry for approximately 8 minutes. Gently flip the fillets, spray again with nonstick spray, and continue air-frying until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 7 more minutes. (15 minutes)
