Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 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.

Recipe Tip

Cook time will depend on the thickness of your fillets and the type of air fryer used.
