Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fresh fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 whole Lemon, sliced for garnish

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine gluten-free breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, chopped dill, chopped thyme, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Add salt and black pepper, and mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels, then dip each fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off.

Step 5

Immediately press the fillets into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides well and pressing gently to adhere the crust.

Step 6

Place the coated fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the top of each fillet with olive oil to help the crust turn golden and crispy.

Step 7

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the herb-crusted baked fish with lemon slices for garnish.
