Ingredients
2 tilapia loins (about 6 ounces each), thawed if frozen
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 tilapia loins dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley.
Brush both sides of each tilapia loin evenly with the olive oil and spice mixture.
Place the tilapia loins in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook the tilapia in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Check that the fish flakes easily with a fork and has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the tilapia loins from the air fryer and serve immediately.
