I’ve tried the two versions of air fried fish, one with moist meat and the other, crispy. For Tilapia, I prefer the crispy version.

Steps

30-40 mins

1

Pat dry after cleaning the fish. With a knife, mark the fish with 3 slits as in the picture. This will help cook it to a crisp.
2

Rub both sides with kalamansi juice and salt, including the inside of the head and opening
3

Spray oil on both sides. Season with your choice of seasoning powder for fish.
4

Pre heat the air fryer for 5 mins. Then cook the fish at 180C (or equiv F) for 10 minutes on each side. When u flip it, spray the fish skin with a little oil.
5

Then incease the temp to 200C (or equiv F) and cook for an additional +/-10 mins, or to desired crispiness on each side, spraying a little oil when you flip. My AF temp doesnt get hot as quickly as other brands, yours might, so do check on your fish mid-way to keep it from burning.
6

Rest on a rack before consuming. :) Enjoy with rice and a side of chili-kalamansi-soy sauce.
