Ingredients

• 2 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 piece egg
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash.

Step 4

Dip each fish fillet into the egg wash, ensuring it’s completely coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Lightly grease a microwave-safe plate with olive oil or spray it with cooking spray to prevent the fillets from sticking.

Step 6

Place the breaded fillets on the plate, leaving space between each piece.

Step 7

Set the microwave to 70% power to ensure even cooking without overcooking the fish. Cook the fillets for 4 minutes.

Step 8

Flip the fillets carefully and cook for an additional 4 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Allow the fillets to rest for 1-2 minutes before serving to let the coating set.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or your favorite side dish.
