Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Fish fillets or chicken breasts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking, or heat a skillet over medium heat with additional olive oil if pan-frying.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, fresh dill, lemon zest, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb mixture and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and lightly moistened.
Pat the fish fillets or chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Press each piece of fish or chicken into the coating mixture, ensuring an even layer on all sides. Gently press the coating to help it adhere.
If baking, arrange the coated pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. If pan-frying, cook each side for 3-4 minutes over medium heat until the coating is crisp and the inside is fully cooked.
Serve immediately with a wedge of fresh lemon and garnish with additional dill, if desired.
