I shared this recipe back for Parmesan Crusted Tilapia back in 2015 and back then Air Fryers weren’t a very trendy kitchen appliance. This post has been recently updated to include air fryer instructions.
What do you serve with tilapia?
Whenever I go to a restaurant I’ll order the fried fish they have there and usually they will have some buttery garlic mashed potatoes with some broccoli on the side. French fries would also be good as a side dish.
What Ingredients do I need?
In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients’ purpose is for. Tilapia - Any type of white fish will work for this such as cod or walleye Parmesan Cheese - is an Italian hard cheese produced from cow’s milk and aged for 12 years. Use freshly grated if money isn’t an issue. Garlic Powder, Paprika, Parlsey Flakes - for dry spices - sometimes I’ll add in som Old Bay Seasoning or Cajun seasoning for extra flavor Olive Oil - I like to use Simply Organic Olive from Aldi
How to make Air Fryer Parmesan Tilapia
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.In a bowl mix together the parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley flakes, and paprika. Coat each side of the fish with parmesan cheese.Drizzle the olive oil over the fish, this will help it turn that golden brown color.Place the tilapia on a lined baking sheet with parchment paper or on a wire rack on a baking sheet. Bake the fish for 20 minutes. Serve with tarter sauce for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely. Air Fryer - Preheat Air Fryer to 375 degrees. Place the coated fish in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 to 12 minutes.
