Air-Fryer Tilapia
This quick and simple air-fryer tilapia recipe is perfect for busy weeknights. The tilapia is moist and flaky and gets brightened up with lemon zest and fresh herbs.
Ingredients:
- cooking spray
- 1 ¼ pounds tilapia fillets
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt, divided
- ⅛ teaspoon hot paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Lightly coat the fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Pat tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Coat the fillets with cooking spray.
- Combine lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, paprika and white pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle onto the fish.
- Working in batches if necessary, arrange the fish in a single layer in the fryer basket. Cook, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145°F and the fish flakes easily with a fork at the thickest part, 6 to 8 minutes. Drizzle lemon juice over the fillets and sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with chives and parsley before serving.
