Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of each tilapia fillet.
Place the seasoned fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry the tilapia fillets for 6 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in color.
While the fish is cooking, cut the lemon into wedges.
Once cooked, remove the tilapia fillets from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
