Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia fish fillets
  • pinch of Cajun seasoning
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of garlic powder
  • pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your air fryer to 390 °F / 200 °C. If necessary, spray the inside of your air fryer with cooking spray to prevent the fish from sticking to it.

  2. 2

    You don't want to stack any fish fillets on top of each other. If you're cooking a large amount, you might have to air fry the fish in several batches.

  3. 3

    --- Using fresh fish ---

  4. 4

    Season the tilapia well on both sides with your choice of seasoning.

  5. 5

    Air fry the fish for about 4-7 minutes, depending on the size of your fillets and the efficiency of your air fryer. You can check if they have cooked through by touching the fillets with a fork. If the fish flakes at the touch, they are ready to serve.

  6. 6

    --- Using frozen tilapia ---

  7. 7

    Air fry the fish for about 5 minutes. This will allow the surface of the fish to thaw. Remove it from the air fryer basket, and season well on both sides.

  8. 8

    Add it back to the basket, and air fry for another 5-7 minutes, depending on the size of your fish. The tilapia is ready to serve when it flakes at the touch of a fork.
