Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

Place the flour in a second shallow bowl, and in a third bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

Step 5

Lightly coat each fish fillet with flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, press it firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides evenly.

Step 6

Place the breaded fillets onto the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops of the fillets with a light coating of olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 7

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the fish from the oven and let it cool slightly for 2–3 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the crispy baked fish hot with fresh lemon wedges on the side. Pair with your favorite sides, such as a green salad, roasted vegetables, or rice.
