Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Pat dry the tilapia fillets using paper towels to ensure they are free from excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush or rub the marinade evenly over both sides of each tilapia fillet.
Place the tilapia fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Ensure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Air fry the fillets for approximately 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The fish should appear golden and flake easily with a fork when done.
Once cooked, remove the tilapia fillets from the air fryer and garnish them with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.
