Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 whole lemon wedges (for serving)
- optional olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking rack.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with the flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to help the coating stick better.
Dredge each fish fillet first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Place the breaded fillets on the prepared baking sheet or baking rack. If desired, lightly spray the tops with olive oil to promote browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two before serving.
Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh and zesty finish.
