Ingredients

• 4 pieces fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to fit the fish fillets in a single layer.

Step 2

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Drizzle the fillets with lemon juice and olive oil, then place them into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

Step 5

Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over the top of each fish fillet, spreading it out to create a layer that covers the fish.

Step 6

Sprinkle bread crumbs over the cheese topping to add a crunchy texture.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a simple green salad.
