Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, plain breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix evenly.
Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl.
In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dredge each fillet in the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured fillets into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.
Press each fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it thoroughly and pressing gently so the crumbs stick well.
Place the coated fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Spray the tops of the fish fillets lightly with nonstick cooking spray to help achieve a golden, crunchy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The crust should be golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
