Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, haddock)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a crumbly topping.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Evenly distribute the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture over the top of each fish fillet, pressing gently to adhere the topping.
Bake the fish fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The topping should be golden brown.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fillets, along with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
