Ingredients
- 3 tilapia filets medium
- ½ tablespoon lemon olive oil
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ bell pepper sliced
Instructions
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil, and preheat the air fryer to 395 degrees while you prepare the fish.
- Combine the Cajun seasoning, Old Bay, thyme, garlic powder, and sea salt in a small bowl.
- Coat each side of the filets with both olive oils. Then, coat each side of the filets with the seasoning blend.
- Place the filets in the air fryer basket and top them with the bell peppers. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the internal temperature registers 145 degrees with a meat thermometer.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Always preheat your air fryer for even cooking and accurate cooking time. It only takes a few minutes!
- Any firm white fish can be used in place of the tilapia, so choose your favorite.
- While regular olive oil can be used, a combination of olive oil and lemon olive oil really gives the fish a nice pop of flavor.
