Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- for garnish lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, fresh parsley, and fresh dill. Spread this herb mixture evenly over the top of each fish fillet.
In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Gently press this breadcrumb mixture onto the herb-covered side of each fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Bake the fish fillets in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top before eating.
