Ingredients
2 tilapia loins (about 4 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 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Pat the tilapia loins dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each tilapia loin.
Place the tilapia loins in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the tilapia loins from the air fryer and transfer to serving plates.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
