Yield: servings
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 Small bowl
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3 tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- lemon wedges optional, for serving
- fresh parsley chopped, optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400° Fahrenheit. Mix together all spices in small bowl, distributing thoroughly.
- Cover both sides of each fillet with olive oil, then coat well with spice mixture. Place fillets in air fryer basket and return basket to preheated air fryer.
- Cook fillets 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked through and flaky. Serve with desired sides, lemon wedges, and chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- Cook to a food-safe internal temperature of 145° Fahrenheit, regardless of cook time. Your air fryer may take more or less time to cook than mine.
- Don't overlap the tilapia fillets in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches as needed so the fish can lay in one flat layer, not touching.
