Ingredients

• 4 pieces orange roughy fillets
• 0.5 cup Caesar salad dressing
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the Caesar salad dressing, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice together until well combined.

Step 4

Brush the Caesar dressing mixture generously over the top of each fillet, ensuring the entire surface is coated.

Step 5

In another small bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.

Step 6

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the fillets, pressing gently to adhere it to the dressing-coated fish.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the breadcrumb topping to help it crisp up while baking.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute or two before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Caesar Orange Roughy hot, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges for an extra burst of freshness.
