# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
In a shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
02 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and light beer until thoroughly blended.
03 -
Preheat the air fryer to 190°C and spray the basket with olive oil spray.
04 -
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each piece into the beer-egg mixture, ensuring excess drips off, then dredge in the breadcrumb coating, pressing lightly so the mixture adheres.
05 -
Arrange coated halibut in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil spray. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp, and the fish flakes easily.
06 -
While the fish cooks, warm the tortillas over an open flame or in a hot cast iron pan until lightly charred.
07 -
Spread fish taco sauce onto each tortilla. Top with taco slaw, crispy halibut, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro.
08 -
Drizzle additional sauce over the tacos and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
For optimal crunch, press the fish gently but firmly into the breadcrumbs and spray thoroughly with oil before air frying.
02 -
If your air fryer does not have a preheat function, let it run empty for five minutes to reach the desired temperature.
