Notes
- Preheat the air fryer for best results.
- Dry the tilapia filets by patting them with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- If using frozen filets, thaw completely before cooking.
- Arrange the tilapia fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. If necessary, cook in batches.
- Halfway through cooking time, flip the fillets using tongs or a spatula. This ensures that both sides get evenly crispy and golden brown.
- Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Use a fork to check if the fish easily flakes apart. If it's still a bit translucent in the center, continue cooking for a few more minutes.
- Tilapia is a delicate fish, and overcooking can result in dryness.
- Garnish before serving.
- Storage - keep leftover tilapia refrigerated in an airtight container or tightly wrapped for 3 days.
