Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400℉.
- Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels (this is the trick). Then season the fish with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, and half the parsley using your fingers to gently rub it in and coat each piece on both sides.4 tilapia fillets, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- Spritz the air fryer basket with olive oil or line it with air fryer parchment paper and spray with oil for easy clean up. Place the tilapia fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer and lightly spritz with olive oil.1 tablespoon olive oil
- Air fry for 7 minutes or until the internal temperature has reached 145℉.
- Serve with lemon juice and the remaining parsley. I like to add a little drizzle of olive oil too!lemon wedges
Notes
- Depending on the size of your air fryer you may need to work in batches.
- Make your cleanup even easier by adding a layer of parchment paper to the bottom of the basket.
- If you're worried about even cooking, you can flip the fillets halfway through cooking, but this is an optional step.
