Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces haddock fillets
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 cup whey protein powder
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil spray
- 4 pieces optional lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
In another shallow bowl, combine the whey protein powder, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels.
Dip each fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it well in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to ensure the coating adheres.
Place the breaded haddock fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the fillets with olive oil spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C).
Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges for added flavor.
