Ingredients
2 frozen tilapia loins (about 4 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon wedge (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
While the air fryer is preheating, brush both sides of the frozen tilapia loins with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the tilapia loins.
Place the seasoned frozen tilapia loins in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook the tilapia loins at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
Check that the internal temperature of the fish reaches 145°F (63°C) and that the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the tilapia loins from the air fryer and serve immediately with a lemon wedge.
