Air Fryer Tilapia with Mango Salad

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs

• 4 tsp. dried oregano

• 4 tsp. sweet paprika

• 2 tsp. Swerve brown sugar

• 2 tsp. dried thyme

• 2 tsp. ground cumin

• 1 tsp. garlic powder

• 1 tsp. kosher salt, divided

• 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more

• 6-8 (6-oz.) tilapia filets, thawed

• Olive oil cooking spray

• 2 ripe mangoes, pitted, peeled, and sliced (or chopped for a Mango Salsa)

• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced (or chopped)

• 1/2 small red onion, sliced (or chopped)

• 1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro leaves

• 1/4 c. fresh lime juice

• 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, oregano, paprika, brown sugar, thyme, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Pat tilapia dry with paper towels; generously season both sides with breadcrumb mixture (use it all), pressing to adhere. Spray both sides of the fish with cooking spray.

3. In an air-fryer basket, place tilapia (I was able to do 3 at a time). Cook at 400° until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining fish.

4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine mangoes, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, lime juice, oil, and salt & pepper, to taste. You can chop instead of slice if you would rather have a mango salsa. I did slices because it is easier for the kids to eat.

5. Serve the tilapia alongside the sliced mango salad or the chopped mango salsa on top.
