Ingredients
- 2 tilapia filets about 6 ounces each
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 ¼ teaspoons paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 Fahrenheit.
- Combine the parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl and mix well.
- Drizzle the olive oil on the tilapia and rub on top.
- Dredge each piece of tilapia in the parmesan mixture until well coated.
- Spray your air fryer basket with oil, then add the tilapia, keeping each piece apart.
- Air fry for 7-9 minutes or until completely cooked through in the thickest part. It will depend on how thick each piece was. Remove the tilapia with a spatula for best results since it's a delicate fish.
- Serve with fresh lemon over rice, your favorite veggies and my pesto vinaigrette!
