Air Fryer Tilapia with Fresh Lemon Pepper

Cook tilapia in an air fryer with fresh lemon pepper to kick up the flavor. Although this fish is low carb and light, you won't be sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons coarsely ground black peppercorns
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch paprika, or to taste
  • cooking spray
  • 1 sprig parsley, chopped, or more to taste
  • 4 wedges lemon

Directions:

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 3 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, rinse tilapia fillets and pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. Mix together lemon zest, olive oil, garlic, pepper, and salt in a small bowl until well combined. Rub over tops of fillets, then sprinkle lightly with paprika. Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange fillets evenly in the basket, spice-side up. Do not crowd; if needed, cook in batches.
  4. Cook in the preheated air fryer until fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove fillets to a plate and garnish with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
