Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces snapper fillets
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with the flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with a mixture of Parmesan cheese, Italian breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge each snapper fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated, and finally press it into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, covering it completely.
Place the breaded fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the top of each fillet to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the Snapper Parmesan hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, and a lemon wedge on the side for an added burst of flavor.
