Description
A quick and healthy recipe for perfectly cooked tilapia fillets using an air fryer. This method yields crispy, tender fish with minimal oil and fuss.
Ingredients
2 tilapia fillets (about 6 ounces each), skinless and boneless
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels.
Brush both sides of each tilapia fillet with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the tilapia fillets.
Place the fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook the tilapia in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque.
Remove the tilapia from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
