Ingredients
2 tilapia loins (about 6 ounces each), thawed if frozen
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
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.
Pat the tilapia loins dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each tilapia loin.
Place the tilapia loins in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook the tilapia in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking (after 4 minutes).
Check that the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout. If needed, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the tilapia from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
