Air Fryer Tilapia with Fresh Lemon Pepper
A quick and easy recipe for tilapia fillets seasoned with lemon and garlic, cooked to flaky perfection in an air fryer.
Ingredients
- tilapia fillet (4 (6 ounce))
- lemon zest (2 tablespoons)
- olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- garlic (2 cloves)
- coarsely ground black peppercorns (1.5 teaspoons)
- salt (0.5 teaspoon)
- paprika (1 pinch)
- cooking spray (0 )
- parsley (1 sprig)
- lemon (4 wedges)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rinse tilapia fillets and pat dry with a paper towel.
- 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.
- 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.
