Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tilapia fillets (or other white fish, about 4-6 ounces each)
  • Olive oil spray, for coating fish
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 5 minutes.
  2. Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets. Coat with olive oil spray and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Combine Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a shallow bowl.
  4. Press each side of the fish fillets into the Parmesan mixture to coat.
  5. Arrange the coated fish in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  6. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 8 minutes.
  7. Check for doneness and continue air frying for another 1-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

- For an extra crispy coating, ensure the fish fillets are completely dry before applying oil and the cheese mixture.
- If you don't have smoked paprika, regular paprika will work, but smoked adds a wonderful depth.
- This dish is best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or oven for best texture.
