Total Time:15 minutes
Yield:4 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
4 Tilapia Fillets (6–8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed is best)
2 teaspoons Lemon Pepper Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground is ideal)
Optional: Lemon wedges for serving
Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Tilapia: Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels.
Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Marinate the Tilapia: Place the tilapia fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the tilapia marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Air Fry the Tilapia: Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or olive oil. Place the marinated tilapia fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping. If necessary, cook in batches.
Cook the Tilapia: Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and the air fryer model.
Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the tilapia from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
