Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Place the flour on a separate plate or shallow dish.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs until they are fully beaten.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the coating adhere better.
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, coating both sides lightly. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured fish fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Press the egg-coated fish fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat all sides evenly with breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the fillets to help them crisp up nicely while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the crispy fish fillets with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating. Enjoy!
