Ingredients

• 4 filets fish filets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups pecans or walnuts (finely chopped)
• 0.25 cups parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 amount (enough to coat the baking sheet) cooking spray
• 4 wedges lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Pat the fish filets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and ensure a crispy coating.

Step 3

Set up three shallow bowls for breading: In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until fully blended. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, chopped nuts, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Dredge each fish filet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, fully coating it, and then press it into the panko and nut mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

Step 5

Place the coated filets on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the filets with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 6

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filets are golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Flip the filets halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor, if desired.
