Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.75 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling)

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.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Dredge one fish fillet in the flour, making sure to coat it evenly. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 5

Dip the floured fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.

Step 6

Press the fillet into the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. Repeat this process for the remaining fillets.

Step 7

Place the breaded fillets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, without overlapping. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of each fillet to help achieve a crispy texture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip the fillets over and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the coating is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the crispy oven-fried fish warm with your favorite dipping sauces or side dishes such as coleslaw, roasted vegetables, or lemon wedges.
