Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh dill, chopped fresh thyme, garlic powder, lemon zest, and ground black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the herbs and spices.
Drizzle the olive oil over the fish fillets and rub it evenly to coat both sides.
Press each fish fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Ensure the herbs and breadcrumbs stick well to the fish.
Place the breaded fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish easily flakes with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the fish from the oven and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the herb-crusted fish fillets with lemon wedges on the side for added freshness and tanginess.
