Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.75 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the fish fillets in a single layer.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the seasoned fillets in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the fillets with lemon juice.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top of each fish fillet, creating a thick layer.
In another small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese layer on the fish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
