Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Flounder fillets
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the flounder fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, chopped dill, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly combine.
Brush both sides of the flounder fillets with olive oil, ensuring they are lightly coated.
Press each fillet gently into the Parmesan and herb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Shake off any excess and place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the fillets from the oven and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
