Transform dinner into a delightful gourmet experience with these creamy and flavorful Sour Cream Fish Fillets! This easy baked fish recipe pairs tender cod, tilapia, or haddock fillets with a tangy sour cream topping infused with fresh dill, zesty lemon juice, and savory Parmesan cheese. A crispy breadcrumb crust, lightly seasoned with paprika and olive oil, adds the perfect golden crunch to every bite. Ready in just 35 minutes, this dish is as quick as it is impressive, making it ideal for weeknight dinners or elegant entertaining. Serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or fluffy rice for a wholesome, restaurant-quality meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Season the fish fillets evenly on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Arrange them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the fish fillets, ensuring each fillet is fully coated.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil and paprika. Stir until the breadcrumbs are lightly coated and crumbly.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the sour cream layer on the fish fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The breadcrumb topping should be golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with additional fresh dill and a lemon wedge for added freshness.
