Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Haddock or cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 spray Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil.
Pat the haddock or cod fillets dry using paper towels. Place them in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade mixture.
Generously brush or drizzle the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
For a crispy topping (optional), combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of each fillet.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and easily flake apart with a fork. (Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.)
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the fish rest for 2–3 minutes.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a slice of lemon if desired. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
