Ingredients
2 tilapia loins (about 4 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 loins dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each tilapia loin.
Place the tilapia loins in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook the tilapia in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Check that the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Remove the tilapia from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
