Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 for serving Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush each tilapia fillet lightly with olive oil on both sides.
Step 5
Dredge each fillet in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres well to the fish.
Step 6
Place the coated fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 7
Cook for 5 minutes, then carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fillets are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
