Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Whitefish fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons (melted) Butter
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the whitefish fillets dry with a paper towel, then season them on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and grated Parmesan cheese together until well combined.
Spread an even layer of the mayonnaise-Parmesan mixture over the top of each fillet.
In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, chopped fresh parsley, and melted butter. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the coated side of the fillets, pressing it gently to adhere.
Place the fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the Baked Whitefish Parmesan warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
