- A pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil

How to Make Fish Nuggets in the Airfryer:

- Set up a breading station with three separate containers: one with all-purpose flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last one with the breadcrumb mixture.

- Preheat your Airfryer to 392 °F.
- Place the coated fish nuggets in the Airfryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
- Airfry the nuggets at 392 °F for approximately 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

- Customize Your Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with seasonings by adding herbs and spices to the breadcrumb mixture for different flavor profiles.
