Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Brush each fillet generously on both sides with the prepared marinade, ensuring the fillets are well-coated.
Place the tilapia fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. Work in batches if necessary.
Air fry the tilapia for 5 minutes, then carefully flip each fillet using tongs and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a golden crust.
Once cooked, remove the tilapia from the air fryer and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the cooked tilapia fillets for a bright, fresh garnish.
Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon on the side, and enjoy your Whole30 air fried tilapia!
