Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 piece egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg wash, ensuring it’s completely coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the breadcrumbs.
Lightly grease a microwave-safe plate with olive oil or spray it with cooking spray to prevent the fillets from sticking.
Place the breaded fillets on the plate, leaving space between each piece.
Set the microwave to 70% power to ensure even cooking without overcooking the fish. Cook the fillets for 4 minutes.
Flip the fillets carefully and cook for an additional 4 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Allow the fillets to rest for 1-2 minutes before serving to let the coating set.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or your favorite side dish.
