1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F and line the wire baking rack with parchment paper.
2. Season the fish with a hint of salt and pepper and place on the wire rack.
3. Cook the fish in the preheated air fryer for 10-12 minutes until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, and flakes easily with a fork.

9. Form the mixture into 20 2 ½ to 3˝ fish cakes and place each into the panko mixture, patting gently and flipping to coat all sides.

11. When ready to cook, preheat the air fryer to 425°F.
12. Arrange the fish cakes in the wire basket of the air fryer.
13. Cook until golden brown on the outside and the fishcakes are heated through, 15-20 minutes.
