Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, dill, thyme, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients well to create the herb crust mixture.
In another bowl, beat the egg until blended. This will be used to help the herb crust adhere to the fish.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Dip each fish fillet in the beaten egg, ensuring it is completely coated.
Press each fish fillet into the herb crust mixture, coating both sides evenly and pressing gently to ensure it sticks well.
Place the coated fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tops of the herb-crusted fish fillets to enhance browning and crisping during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish just before eating.
