Ingredients for Air Fryer Tilapia with Fresh Lemon Pepper
- 4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons coarsely ground black peppercorns
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pinch paprika
- cooking spray
- 1 sprig parsley, chopped, or more to taste
- 4 wedges lemon
Directions for Air Fryer Tilapia with Fresh Lemon Pepper
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 3 minutes.
- While fryer is preheating, rinse tilapia fillets and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Combine lemon zest, olive oil, pepper, salt, and garlic in a bowl. Rub spice mixture over the tilapia. Sprinkle lightly with paprika. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the filets inside, coated side up.
- Air fry until fish can be flaked with a fork, 7 to 10 minutes. Do not crowd the fish filets; you may need to fry a second batch, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Remove tilapia to a plate, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
Cook’s Note:
All air fryers cook differently, and timing will also depend on the thickness of your filets.
