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 4 tilapia fillets dry with paper towels.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. If your air fryer does not have a preheat function, run it empty at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning.
- Brush both sides of the 4 tilapia fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets. Use the brush or your hands to gently press the seasonings into the fish.
- Place the tilapia fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
- Air fry at 350 degrees F for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the fish is flaky and reaches an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F. If needed, continue cooking in 2-minute intervals until done.
- Squeeze the juice from ½ lemon over the cooked tilapia just 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.
