Notes
- Frozen tilapia: Cook from frozen, but add an extra 2-3 minutes (until the fish flakes easily with a fork).
- Leftovers: Keep in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for 2 months.
- Reheating: Either microwave the fish for 20-30 seconds or reheat in the air fryer for 2 minutes, until crispy around the edges.
