Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 pieces eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, plain breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 3

Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl.

Step 4

In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined.

Step 5

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dredge each fillet in the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Dip the floured fillets into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.

Step 7

Press each fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it thoroughly and pressing gently so the crumbs stick well.

Step 8

Place the coated fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.

Step 9

Spray the tops of the fish fillets lightly with nonstick cooking spray to help achieve a golden, crunchy crust.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The crust should be golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
