✅ Guaranteed Fit — Max dish size per rack: 12"W × 11.5"D × 4"H. All our recipes use dishes that actually fit your Ninja Double Stack XL DCT401.
💡 Use the air fry basket. Spray basket and fish generously with cooking spray. The breaded crust needs oil to crisp properly — do not skip the spray. Use a solid pan (not the basket) — this recipe contains liquids.
🥘 Ingredients
Main
  • 2 cod fillets (6 oz each, about 1-inch thick)
Breading Station
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
Cooking
  • cooking spray (as needed)
Serving
  • tartar sauce (for serving)
  • lemon wedges (for serving)
📝 Instructions
  1. Pat cod fillets extremely dry. Cut into 4 equal portions if large. Shared 💡 Wet fish makes the breading slide off. Dry them aggressively.
  2. Set up breading station: bowl 1 — flour, Old Bay, and salt; bowl 2 — beaten eggs; bowl 3 — panko with garlic powder. Shared 💡 Old Bay is the secret — it gives that classic fish fry flavor.
  3. Dredge each piece in flour (shake off excess), dip in egg, then press firmly into panko. Shared 💡 Press hard on the panko — you want a thick, dense crust.
  4. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 400°F for 3 minutes. Spray basket generously. Lower Oven 💡 An oiled basket prevents the panko from sticking and tearing off.
  5. Place breaded cod in the pan. Spray tops generously with cooking spray. Air Fry at 400°F for 6 minutes. Lower Oven 💡 The spray is the deep-fry substitute — it is how the crust gets golden and crispy.
  6. Flip gently with a spatula. Spray again. Air Fry at 400°F for 5-6 more minutes until golden and fish reaches 145°F. Lower Oven 💡 Flip carefully — use a thin spatula and support the fish from underneath.
  7. Serve immediately with tartar sauce and lemon wedges. Shared 💡 Like any fried fish, these lose crispness as they cool — eat right away!
💡 Ninja Tips

Thick cod works better than thin fillets — thin ones overcook before the crust browns. For gluten-free, use GF flour and GF panko. A wire rack in the basket helps the bottom stay crispy.

Scaling: To double: cook in two batches. To halve: use 1 fillet, halve all breading.
