Quick and Easy Air Fryer Tilapia
I'm always looking for new and interesting ways to cook seafood, and this air fryer tilapia recipe did not disappoint! The fish was cooked perfectly and the flavors went so well together.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 Fillet of Tilapia Fresh or frozen
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 4 tbsp Butter Melted
- 2 tsp Dried Italian herbs
- 1/2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your fryer to 400 degrees F.
- While the air fryer is preheating, season the Tilapia fillet. Pat dry the fillet and spray some oil on both sides of the fillet. Sprinkle evenly garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides of the fish fillet.
- Light coat the air fryer basket with some oil to prevent sticking. I am using parchment paper instead as parchment paper prevents the fish to stick onto the air fryer basket and cleaning will be less messy after cooking.
- Place the tilapia fillet into the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 to 12 minutes at 400 degrees F. The timing requires depends on the thickness of the fish and whether you are using fresh or frozen. Frozen fillets will take slightly longer to cook. Flip the fillets halfway through the cooking.
- While the fish is cooking, mix the melted butter with Italian herbs, salt, and pepper into a sauce bowl. Mix well.
- Once the fish is brown and the meat is flaky. Remove the fish and serve them with your favorite side dishes. Drizzle the butter mixture over the fish.
