Air Fryer Breaded Flounder

05/18/2022 by The Mama Maven

My family loves breaded fish — since I prefer to make most things in my air fryer, it was a natural move to start air frying it. But, while I was able to master breaded chicken, I had issues with air frying breaded flounder and other fish. It just seems to fall apart. I prefer air frying to actually frying breaded fish or putting it into the oven because air frying fish is so much more delicious and uses practically no oil (which is definitely better for my stomach). So I decided to rethink it. I decided to try double breading the flounder and voila! So much better! That was part one of my hack. The second part was to be very careful with flipping over your fish in the air fryer – as letting it SIT for a few minutes out of the air fryer before flipping it. Read on to see how I made delicious air fryer breaded flounder and served it in sandwich form to my family!

Ingredients for air fryer breaded flounder

Beat eggs into a pyrex rectangle container or bowl
Add breadcrumbs into another pyrex square container or bowl
Dip flounder into beaten eggs and then coat with breadcrumbs.


REPEAT this again (double bread)
Spray air fryer racks or basket with EVOO or Avocado Oil Spray (I usually use a silicone mat on the tray).
Then spray your breaded flounder lightly. Place on the tray and basket.

Air fry at 400 degrees for around 15-20 minutes.

Try to turn over halfway in (and lightly spray with Avocado Oil Spray again).

Notes: Your fish may break up if flip it over while your air fryer is hot, so you may want to run your air fryer for 7-10 minutes, shut if off and then wait a few minutes and then flip it over and then put it on for another 7-10 minutes at 400 degrees.

To serve on a roll, melt cheese on top of your breaded fish for 1 minute in your air fryer and then place on top of a sandwich roll (pretzel or challah rolls are terrific). We added on some lettuce and my husband added light mayo. My daughter added honey mustard. It was incredible!
