Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.75 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 piece lemon, cut into wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the chopped parsley, dill, lemon zest, dried oregano, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the olive oil to the herb mixture and stir to make a paste.
In another shallow dish, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure the herb mixture sticks well.
Coat each fish fillet evenly on both sides with the herb paste, pressing gently to adhere.
Press each coated fillet into the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even layer of breadcrumbs sticks to both sides.
Place the breadcrumb-coated fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow the fish to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the baked fish fillets with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
