Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cups breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1.5 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare a breading station: In one shallow bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded fish fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. You may need to cook in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the browned fillets to the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon the marinara sauce evenly over each fillet and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve immediately.
