Ingredients
- 16 ounces tilapia fillets ((2) 8-ounce fillets)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (or 2 teaspoons fresh dill)
+ 9 more ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Place fish fillets onto a plate and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, olive oil, dill, salt, paprika, pepper and garlic. Rub the mixture onto one side of each of the fillets.
Place the Ritz crackers into a sealable plastic bag and crush.
In a medium microwaveable bowl, melt the butter for 30 seconds. Stir and heat in 10 seconds increments until completely melted, stirring in between.
Mix in the lemon juice. Add the crushed crackers and parsley, and toss until well mixed.
Spray a light coating of cooking spray onto the basket of the air fryer. Place tilapia fillets into the basket with the rub mixture side up and evenly divide the cracker topping among them. Do not crowd the fish, leave some space in between for the air to circulate. Depending on their sizes or if doubling the recipe, you may need to cook them in batches.
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 7-10 minutes, until the fish easily flakes with a fork or internal temperature as 145°F.
