Can I use a different type of fish?

Yes. Feel free to use any of the following: tilapia, haddock, bass, grouper, catfish or snapper.

How can I make these more Keto-friendly?

You can add 2 oz of cream cheese or double the mayo. You can also serve these keto air fryer fish bites with a high fat dipping sauce like this chimichurri sauce .

What is the protein content of this recipe?

There are 7 grams of protein in a single PSMF fish bite!

How long will these Air Fryer Fish bites last in the fridge?

These will last for 3 days in the fridge. To reheat the fish bites, simply place them back in the air fryer on 375 for 2-3 minutes. You can also reheat them in the toaster oven, in a frying pan or under the broiler.

Why did my PSMF fish bites not bind together?

Your fish probably has a high water content. Simply add more coconut flour to help absorb the liquid.

How do you keep fish from smelling "fishy"?

Thaw your fish and then toss in some almond milk before storing it in the fridge until ready to use.

Is fresh fish better than frozen fish?

Not necessarily. Unless you catch your fish yourself, almost all US fish is frozen at some point so buying fish frozen means that it is "flash frozen" and tends to have less of a fishy taste.

PSMF Air Fryer Fish Bites - High Protein, Keto and Whole30

16 oz cod (or other white flaky fish), thawed
2 eggs
3- 4 tbsp egg white powder*
1 tbsp collagen powder
1-2 tbsp coconut flour **

1 tbsp dill pickle relish

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Place the fish in a food processor and process until a paste is formed
Add in all the ingredients and process for an additional 1-2 minutes
Place mixture in the fridge to firm up for about 10 minutes
Form fish mixture into balls, rolling between palms of your hands to make sure they are tightly packed. I used got 17 bites total.
Place 8 bites in the air fryer. Spray the tops with cooking spray and set for 8 minutes at 350 degrees. Half way through, open lid, turn bites and spray again.
Repeat with remaining bites until all the fish bites have been cooked.

Notes

* if you do not have egg white powder, you can try using plain whey protein powder or additional coconut flour. If using coconut flour, start off adding it slowly since it can dry out the fish if too much is added.

** since different fish have varying amounts of water, you may need to add additional coconut flour. Start with 3 tbsp and if you can not roll fish into a ball type shape, add an additional tablespoon.

***keep the mayo low for PSMF diet but feel free to increase the amount for a keto diet.
