  2. Set up 3 shallow containers for dredging: one with the flour, one with the egg, and the third with the panko and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Dip the cod first into the flour, shaking off any excess. Next dip in the egg, and then coat well with the panko.

When alerted, flip the cod, and then reinsert the basket to continue cooking. Air fry until browned and crispy. Transfer the cooked fish to a plate and reserve.
