Method
- Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper. In a bowl, beat the water, egg, flour, baking powder, and lemon flavouring.
- Coat the fish in the batter, then cook in a preheated air fryer at 200°C for 14–16 minutes – it’s important that the air fryer is piping hot as the fish goes in. Check after 10 minutes to ensure nothing burns – mine usually takes 15 minutes.
- While the fish is frying, combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and prep your filling ingredients.
- Assemble the tacos with the fish, salad, and guacamole and top with the sauce.

You can really play around with this recipe – change the protein, add mango or chilli, make them totally veggie – the possibilities are endless," says Bord of Lunch cookbook author Nathan Anthony.
