Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls or plates: In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, sweet paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Lightly coat each fish fillet in the flour, ensuring full coverage. Shake off excess flour.
Dip the floured fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Press the fillet firmly into the panko and sesame seed mixture, coating it evenly on all sides. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
Place the coated fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Lightly spray the tops of the fillets with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip the fillets gently and spray the other side with olive oil spray.
Continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, a squeeze of fresh lemon, or alongside steamed vegetables or rice.
