- 1 pound fish fillets, such as flounder, tilapia, cod, halibut, salmon or use canned crab
- 1¼ cup seasoned panko, gluten-free if needed, divided*
- ¼ cup minced celery
- 2 tablespoons light mayo

Instructions
- Puree the roasted peppers, garlic and paprika in a mini blender and combine with the mayo, set aside.
- Air Fryer Method:
- Place the fish in the air fryer basket and cook 400F 6 minutes until cooked though and easily flakes with a fork. Transfer to a large bowl, let cool and flake into small pieces. Wipe basket clean.

- Divide into 8 portions, about ¼ cup each and form into patties. If they fall apart add a little more panko.
- Place the remaining egg in a bowl and whisk. Gently dip the patties in the egg, then coat with the remaining panko and pat off any excess. Spray both sides with olive oil.
- Air fry the patties in an even layer 400F 8 minutes turning halfway, in batches as needed until golden brown and crisp. Serve with lemon wedges and red pepper sauce.
- Oven Method:
- Bake the fish in a pre-heated 425F oven in a 9 x 12 baking dish until it flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
- Once the patties are formed, spray with olive oil and bake them in the oven until crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes on each side.
