Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the pan)
- 1 whole lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, fresh parsley, fresh dill, fresh thyme, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the herbs and seasonings are evenly distributed.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise evenly over each fish fillet. This helps the breadcrumb mixture stick while also keeping the fish moist during baking.
Dredge each fish fillet in the breadcrumb and herb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks and evenly covers the entire surface of the fish.
Place the coated fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece to allow for even crisping.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the fish is cooked through. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top. Pair with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
