Description
A quick and delicious air fryer recipe featuring tender tilapia fillets coated in a crispy panko crust, seasoned with herbs and spices for a flavorful, healthy meal.
Ingredients
4 tilapia fillets, about 4 ounces each, skin removed
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until fully blended.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels.
Dip each tilapia fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat evenly with the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Lightly brush or spray both sides of the coated fillets with olive oil to promote crispiness.
Place the coated tilapia fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook the fillets in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the tilapia from the air fryer and serve immediately.
