Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Spray the basket with cooking spray.
  • Pat dry the tilapia fillets.
  • Mix the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic and, using your hands, rub the spices over both sides of the fish.
  • Add the tilapia filets to the air fryer basket and spray the top with cooking spray. Air fry for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • While the fish is cooking, make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice and parsley.

Notes

Frozen tilapia: Cook from frozen, but add an extra 2-3 minutes (until the fish flakes easily with a fork). Leftovers: Keep in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for 2 months.
