Servings: 4
Cost: $5.21, $1.30 per Serving
Ingredients
- 4 Tilapia Filets
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Paprika
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- ½ tsp Italian Seasoning
- ½ Lemon juiced
Instructions
- Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. If your air fryer does not have a preheat setting, run it at 350°F for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Brush both sides of the tilapia with olive oil. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides and gently press it onto the fillets.
- Place the tilapia in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
- Air fry at 350°F for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through and golden brown.
- Check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer. If needed, continue cooking in 2-minute intervals until the tilapia reaches 130°F to 135°F.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the tilapia before serving.
Notes
Make sure that the tilapia is completely defrosted before cooking in the air fryer if you use frozen tilapia filets.
Leftover tilapia should be stored in the refrigerate in an air tight container for up to 3-4 days.
