Prepare flavorful fish like never before with this incredible Air Fryer Tilapia Recipe. You can enjoy a fresh and delicious entree with some of your favorite sides.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and water. In another dish, combine the breadcrumbs, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper, whisking well.
1 large egg, 1 tablespoon water, 2 cups breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Pat the tilapia dry with paper towels, then dredge each filet through the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off.
4 tilapia filets
Press each filet into the breadcrumb mixture, then place on a clean plate. Repeat with remaining fish.
Preheat the air fryer at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Spray the inner basket of the air fryer with cooking oil spray.
Place the fish in a single layer in the basket (you may need to work in batches), spray with cooking oil spray, and cook for 10 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges.
