Ingredients
4 tilapia fillets (about 6 ounces each), skinless and boneless
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels.
Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook the fillets at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the fillets from the air fryer and transfer to serving plates.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
