Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix well.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, spread a thin layer of the Dijon mustard mixture over both sides of each fish fillet.
Dredge each fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres evenly. Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the fish from the oven and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple salad. Enjoy!
