  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

  • Take fish tilapia fillets, wash them well under running water and drain the excess water out.
  • Spray or apply olive oil on all sides of the fish fillet.
  • Apply or sprinke salt as per taste, paprika powder and black peppercorn powder to both sides of the fish.
  • Coat the fish fillets with all-purpose flour.
  • Dip the coated flour fillets in beaten eggs.
  • Lastly, coat the fish fillets with breadcrumbs and set them aside.
  • Preheat the airfyer at 370° F for 3-4 minutes.
  • Take the basket out of the air fryer, place the coated fish pieces into the air fryer.
  • Spray some olive oil on the fish pieces.
  • Insert the basket into the air fryer, cook the fish fillet for 5-6 minutes by setting the timer of air fryer.
  • Take the basket out, flip the fish pieces, spray some olive oil.
  • Cook the other side too for 5 minutes at the same temperature.
  • Take the fish fillet out from the air fryer.
  • Serve the crispy fish tilapia hot with ketchup or sauce or dip.

Notes

  • Any air fryer can be used to follow the cooking procedure. Different brands have different appearance but the cooking technique and temperatures remain the same for any air fryer.
  • I have defrosted the frozen tilapia before coating with spices as defrosting in air fryer tend to break the fish quickly as they are already tender in raw stage.
  • Therefore, defrost them in room temperature for few minutes, wash them well and strain to remove any excess water.
