Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice and olive oil. Brush this mixture over both sides of the fish fillets and set aside.
In another bowl, mix the parsley, dill, garlic, lemon zest, black pepper, and breadcrumbs until well combined.
Add melted butter to the breadcrumb mixture and stir until the breadcrumbs are moistened.
Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Press the herb breadcrumb mixture onto each fish fillet, ensuring even coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley or lemon slices if desired.
