Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 1 cup Asiago cheese
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a shallow bowl, combine the asiago cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix evenly.
In a second shallow bowl, add the flour.
In a third shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with a paper towel. Dip each fillet into the flour, shaking off any excess.
Next, coat the floured fillet in the whisked eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Finally, press the fillet firmly into the asiago breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crusted fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Serve hot with lemon wedges and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
