Air Fryer Tilapia

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds tilapia fillets (6 filets, 4 oz. each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large lemon
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to 400℉ (204℃). Meanwhile, pat the tilapia fillets dry with a few paper towels.

2. 2

   Sprinkle the fish generously with the blackened seasonings, then use your hands to gently rub it in, coating each piece on all sides.

3. 3

   Spray or drizzle the air fryer basket with oil. Working in batches if needed, place 1 to 2 tilapia fillets in the air fryer basket so they don't overlap. Spray or drizzle the fish with a little extra oil for extra crispiness.

4. 4

   Close the air fryer and cook for 7 minutes. When the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, use a spatula to carefully transfer the filets to serving plates.

5. 5

   Repeat steps 2-3 until all the fish fillets are cooked. Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice on the plated fish before serving.
