Yes, Air fryer cod is fabulous! Forget the fish sticks! Air fried cod nuggets are crispy on the outside, but tender and flaky on the inside. Dunk them in a creamy lemon dill sauce for the perfect combination!

Air fried cod nuggets make a terrific dinner that both you and your kids will love and rave about!  Another thing that we love about this recipe is that the dill dip is made with Greek yogurt for an additional protein source.
