Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients

  • 1-1.5 lbs trout fillet(s) Can substitute salmon fillets
  • 3 Tbsps panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  • Pat trout dry and tuck the thin edge of fillet underneath so the thickness is as uniform as possible.
  • Mix bread crumbs and spices and pat mixture on top of trout.
  • Roast at 375° for about 16 minutes. Check for internal temperature of 140°F.
  • Remove from air fryer and transfer to a platter to serve.

Notes

  1.  You can add ½ teaspoon cumin to the spice mix if you like. 
Wine Pairing
Air Fryer Trout is rather versatile because the Southwestern Spices have quite a bit of omph! A rich, full bodied white like Chenin Blanc, a Touraine Sauvignon Blanc or a Muscadet Sèvre et Maine would all be good.
A fruity, spicy red like a GSM, Beaujolais or Pinot Noir would also work.
