What does tilapia taste like?
If you don’t like an overly fishy taste, then tilapia fillets are perfect for you! They are very mild with a touch of sweetness, similar to red snapper. It has a firm but flaky texture and is a great option for those that don’t usually like fish. When cooked, it will take on the flavor of the fish seasoning.
Ingredients
- 2-4 tilapia filets rinsed and patted dry
- 2 teaspoons of fish seasoning
- Oil for spraying
- Lemon slices and chopped parsley for serving
Instructions
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Season the filets with fish seasoning. Place the filets in the preheated air fryer basket. Spray the top of the fish filets with a little oil.
-
Air fry the filets for about 7-10 minutes until the fish is flaky.
-
Serve with lemon slices and chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- I used thawed tilapia for this recipe. If cooking the tilapia from frozen, cook for about 10-12 minutes.
- If thawing the tilapia fillets, pat them dry well before seasoning to remove excess water.
- Any high heat oil will do well in this recipe, such as canola, olive oil, avocado oil, etc.
- These fillets will take between 7 and 10 minutes to cook through. The cooked fish should be firm but flaky and be an even white color throughout
