Tilápia na air fryer

Ingredientes

• 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 4 fresh tilapia fillets (5-8 oz each)
• 2 lemons (cut into wedges)
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   To make this air fryer fish recipe, preheat your air fryer at 400° F (190° C) for at least 10-15 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, mix the seasonings together in a bowl. Pat fish dry and apply seasoning on both sides, pressing down to stick on the surface.

3. 3

   Grease the air fryer basket either by spraying no stick cooking spray or by brushing it with a vegetable oil such as olive oil. Cook in a single layer for 8-10 minutes (depending on the size or thickness of the fillets), flipping halfway through with a silicone spatula if you can. Large fillets or small air fryers will not permit that. But the fish will still cook without problems!

4. 4

   If needed, cook them in batches, leaving a space between the fillets for hot air to circulate and cook them evenly. They have cooked fully when they show a brown exterior and are flaky in the thickest part. You can also take their internal temp with a meat thermometer-- it must reach 145° F (63° C).

5. 5

   Transfer them to a plate, squeeze fresh lemon juice over them, and sprinkle chopped parsley on top. You may serve with homemade tartar sauce or no sauce at all!
