Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and lay them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle each fillet with lemon juice and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and melted butter. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined and resembles damp sand.
Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over each fish fillet, pressing gently to ensure it adheres to the surface.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the breadcrumb topping to help it crisp up in the oven.
Bake the fish fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fish is cooked through (it should easily flake with a fork).
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple salad. Enjoy!
