Ingredients
2 tilapia fillets (about 6 ounces each), skinless and boneless
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels.
Brush both sides of each tilapia fillet with the lemon garlic mixture.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the tilapia fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook the tilapia at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the tilapia from the air fryer and serve immediately with additional lemon wedges if desired.
