Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs (optional, for crunch)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of each fish fillet, making sure they are well coated.
If using panko breadcrumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the mayonnaise-coated fillets for added crunch.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
