Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- as needed Cooking spray or olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and lightly spray it with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
Prepare three separate bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps the coating stick better.
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, ensuring it's lightly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured fish into the beaten eggs, making sure it's fully covered.
Finally, press the fish into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides evenly. Gently press the crumbs onto the fillet to ensure they adhere well.
Place the breaded fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the fish fillets with cooking spray or drizzle a small amount of olive oil on each fillet. This helps achieve a golden, crispy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The breadcrumbs should be golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for a minute or two before serving.
Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side and your favorite accompaniments like tartar sauce, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.
