Mild, family-friendly tilapia fillets are slathered with herbed mayonnaise, dredged in instant potato flakes, and air-fried until crispy on the outside and perfectly flaky and moist inside. Be sure to choose fillets no larger than six ounces each; any larger, and you’ll probably be unable to fit two in the air fryer together. The potato flakes are a smart gluten-free breading option and a great pantry staple to keep on hand.

Arrange 2 coated fillets in air fryer and spray fillets with cooking spray. Air-fry until breading is crisp and fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from air fryer and keep warm.
