written by Air Fryer Recipes | August 11, 2026

Ingredients

2 tilapia loins or fillets, (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried parsley

Directions

Preheat your air fryer at 400F for 5 minutes.

Pat the fish dry with paper towels and brush the oil on both sides.

Season both sides with the garlic powder and salt.

Mix together the dried herbs and season both sides of the fish with it. (Use your fingers to rub the herbs into the flesh).

Place the fish in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry on 400F for 8-12 minutes. (The amount of time depends on the thickness of your loins/fillets). Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.

Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges or slices.
