Instructions

Cut 1 pound cod filets into bite-size pieces and add to a large mixing bowl.
Put avocado oil spray on the cod and coat the fish well. Then sprinkle ⅓ cup everything bagel seasoning on the fish nuggets, stirring with a fork to evenly coat all pieces.
Preheat air fryer to 380°F/195°C.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with the avocado oil spray and add seasoned fish nuggets in a single layer.
Cook for 6-8 minutes until the fish starts to brown lightly. Fish nuggets should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check the temperature of the fish.
