Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. Set aside.
Place the fish fillets into the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top of each fish fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the sour cream layer to add a crispy topping.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the fish to help the breadcrumbs brown (if used).
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley and serve warm with your favorite side dish, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
