Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Drizzle lemon juice over the fillets.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese until well combined.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top of each fish fillet to create a thick, even layer.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let the fish cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, like steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
