Instructions

Prepare the Fish Mixture

In a large bowl, flake the fish fillets with a fork. Add the beaten egg, chopped dill, lemon juice, green onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Pro tip: Ensure the fish is thoroughly flaked to avoid large chunks.

Form the Croquettes

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the fish mixture and shape it into a ball. Flatten slightly to form a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Pro tip: Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking.

Coat the Croquettes

Place the flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Dredge each patty in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.

Pro tip: For an extra crispy crust, use panko breadcrumbs.

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for 5 minutes.

Pro tip: Preheating ensures even cooking.

Cook the Croquettes

Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the croquettes in a single layer, ensuring they don't touch. Cook at 200°C (390°F) for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Pro tip: Do not overcrowd the basket for optimal crispiness.

Serve

Remove the croquettes from the air fryer and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.

Pro tip: Garnish with additional dill for a fresh touch.
