Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to fit the fish fillets in a single layer.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Drizzle the fillets with lemon juice and olive oil, then place them into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over the top of each fish fillet, spreading it out to create a layer that covers the fish.
Sprinkle bread crumbs over the cheese topping to add a crunchy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the top is golden and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a simple green salad.
