Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly coat it with olive oil spray.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Dip each fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere to all sides. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
Place the breaded fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each fillet for even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the breaded fillets with olive oil spray. This will help them achieve a golden, crispy crust in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The crust should be golden and crunchy.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
