Ingredients
- olive oil cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons seafood seasoning , such as Old Bay®
- 0.75 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound tilapia fillets , thawed if frozen
- 4 lemons slices
Instructions
-
1
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray or line with a parchment liner.
-
2
Whisk flour, seafood seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.

3
Remove tilapia filets from the package and pat dry with a paper towel. Lightly spray filets with olive oil, and sprinkle flour seasoning over each filet, pressing down to coat all of the fish. Turn them over, and season on the other side as well. Place the filets into the air fryer basket, without overlapping, so air can circulate around the filets.

4
Cook until tilapia filets flake easily with a fork, 7 to 10 minutes. There is no need to flip them. Depending on your air fryer size, you might have to cook them in batches.

Top each filet with a slice of lemon, and serve hot.

Soft and Chewy Balkan Bread
Pogacha is a type of bread baked in the ashes of a fireplace, and later on in the oven. This bread is found in the cuisines of the Balkans and Turkey. I found it after searching high and low for a great bread to bake for my homemade panini. I tried maybe a dozen bread recipes over the years just to get it right. I needed a bread that was light and airy that you could press using a panini press and wouldn't get too hard to chew or too thick to eat.
Plum Flummery
This plum flummery recipe makes a delicious fruity mousse with a great plum tang. It makes good use of pre-stewed plums, and is especially handy at that time of the year when you have too many plums and quite enough jam, thank you very much! Most of the time it takes to make this recipe is waiting for it to chill sufficiently.
