Step 1

Preheat the air fryer.

Step 2

Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent the fish from sticking to the bottom. Season tilapia with salt and pepper (more tips for seasoning the fillets can be found in the notes).

Step 3

Place seasoned tilapia fillets in the air fryer and spray the top of the fish with olive oil spray. You can flip the fish halfway through cooking, but it's not required. Cook to an internal temperature of at least 145°. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
