Description
A quick and easy recipe for perfectly cooked, flaky tilapia fillets using an air fryer. This healthy dish is seasoned simply and ready in under 20 minutes, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
2 tilapia fillets, thawed (about 6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 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 to remove excess moisture.
Brush both sides of each tilapia fillet with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the tilapia fillets.
Place the seasoned tilapia fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook the tilapia in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the tilapia fillets from the air fryer and transfer to serving plates.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish.
