Ingredients

• 4 pieces Basa fillets (fresh or thawed)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (or cooking spray)
• 1 whole Lemon wedges (for serving)

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 or cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Place the flour in a second shallow dish.

Step 5

Crack the eggs into a third shallow dish and beat them lightly with a fork until combined.

Step 6

Dredge each basa fillet in the flour, ensuring it's evenly coated, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Gently press the breadcrumb mixture onto the fish to ensure it sticks well.

Step 7

Place the coated basa fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.

Step 8

Drizzle the fillets lightly with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray for added crispiness.

Step 9

Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the crispy baked basa with lemon wedges on the side for added freshness. Pair with a salad, roasted vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
