Steps

1
Pat tilapia fillets dry. Brush with olive oil.
2
Mix Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, and melted butter.
3
Press the Parmesan mixture firmly onto the top of each fillet.
4
Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden and fish flakes easily with a fork.
5

💡

Tip: Tilapia is thin — it cooks fast. Check at 8 minutes to avoid overcooking. The melted butter in the Parmesan mixture helps it brown into a crispy crust. Don't flip — cook crust-side up.
