Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
In another bowl, combine the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the fish.
In a third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the top of the fish fillets, pressing down lightly to adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 2 minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a side salad.
