Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil or neutral cooking oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set aside. This will help the coating adhere better.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the eggs (whisked), and one with a mixture of Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each fish fillet in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then press it into the Parmesan-panko mixture, ensuring an even coat on all sides. Repeat with the remaining fillets and place them on a plate.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place the coated fish fillets into the pan without overcrowding (cook in batches if necessary).
Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Gently flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish. Pair with a salad, roasted vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
