Ingredients
2 tilapia fillets, thawed (about 6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Pat the thawed tilapia fillets dry with paper towels.
Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the tilapia fillets.
Place the fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook the tilapia in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the fillets from the air fryer and serve immediately.
