Ingredients

Scale

2 frozen breaded tilapia fillets (about 4 ounces each)
1 teaspoon olive oil spray

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Lightly spray both sides of the frozen breaded tilapia fillets with olive oil spray to help crisp the coating.
Place the fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.

Check that the internal temperature of the tilapia reaches 145°F (63°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
Carefully remove the fillets from the air fryer and serve immediately with a lemon wedge.
