Air Fryer Tilapia – Quick, Easy, and Delicious!

Perfectly seasoned tilapia filets cooked up tender and flakey in the air fryer.

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 4 tilapia filets
    • 2 tbsps avocado oil or olive oil
    • ½ teaspoon paprika
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • fresh parsley
    • lemon wedges

    Instructions

    • Drizzle oil on tilapia. Rub it into the filets to coat in oil.
    • In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt and black pepper together.
    • Sprinkle spice mix evenly over tilapia, then rub it into the filets.
    • Spray the air fryer basket to prevent sticking. Cook in the air fryer in a single layer for 8 minutes at 350°F. Depending on your air fryer size you may have to cook these in two shifts.
    • Remove from the air fryer when the fish flakes easily and is cooked through.
    • Serve with fresh parsley and lemon wedges (optional).

    Notes

    Air Fryer Notes:

    • Some air fryers have a pre-heat option. Preheating may reduce the cooking time a little bit.
    • Air fryers need space between the food items to circulate and cook properly. Do not overcrowd your air fryer. 

      Recipe Notes:

    • For spicy fish, add ¼-½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper. 
    • For easier cleanup, line air fryer basket/tray with aerated parchment paper made for air fryers (or make your own and punch some holes into it).
