🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 4 fillets White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set it aside.

2. Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and lightly season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

4. Pour the melted butter over the breadcrumb mixture and stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated and slightly moist.

5. Place the fish fillets in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Firmly press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each fish fillet, ensuring a thick, even coating.

6. Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.

7. Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let the fish rest for 2-3 minutes.

8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
