Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

500 g Frozen Tilapia Fillets
1 teaspoon Paprika
½ teaspoon Parsley
¼ teaspoon Garlic granules
⅛ teaspoon onion granules
5 g Stock cube (crushed) optional
¼ teaspoon Black pepper
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions

Mix the paprika, black pepper, parsley, onion granules, garlic granules, stock powder, salt, and olive oil.
Bring out the frozen Tilapia fillets from the packaging and run the fillets under cold water to deglaze them (this helps the seasoning mix stick better to the fish fillets).
Pat them dry with kitchen towels and brush the seasoning mix all over the fish.
Arrange the seasoned Tilapia in the air fryer basket and air fry frozen Tilapia for 10 minutes at 190C/390F.
Bring out the air fryer basket and rest the fish fillets for 3 minutes.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

You can use this recipe to cook fresh Tilapia however the cooking time will be shorter so check on the fish from 6 minutes so it does not overcook.

You don't have to preheat the air fryer for this. I don't and I get great results all the time.

Squeeze some lemon juice on the fish for lemon flavor. Add or use any fish seasoning you've tested and loved. Customize the flavor to how you like it.

No need to flip the Tilapia when cooking it to avoid the fillets breaking apart.
