So tilapia…it’s one of my hands down favourite VOLUME foods. That means so much on your plate for so few calories. So, the practical implication is more food in your stomach = you feel fuller. So, tilapia definitely gets to be part of our rotation on this basis alone!
Serves 2
🥄 1 lb tilapia filets
🥄 1 tbsp smoked paprika
🥄 1 tbsp surkin gold, or other brown sugar style sweetener
🥄 1 tsp dried oregano
🥄 1 tsp garlic powder
🥄 1 tsp cumin
🥄 ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
🥄 1 tsp salt
Mix all the ingredients except the tilapia in a small mixing bowl. Use your fingers to spread the rub over the fish, making sure to coat both sides. Spray the coated fish with a little non-stick cooking spray (I love to use coconut oil.) Cook in batches in your air fryer. In total you’ll probably need about 8 – 10 minutes. I recommend flipping the fish halfway. Do this gently and carefully. The tilapia is delicate, and the sides of your air fryer will be hot. If you need to cook the fish in batches do not worry. Simply hold the cooked fish warm in your oven on a baking sheet. Set your oven to 170 – 200F.
