Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
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.
Step 2
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and lay them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Drizzle each fillet with lemon juice and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and melted butter. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined and resembles damp sand.
Step 5
Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over each fish fillet, pressing gently to ensure it adheres to the surface.
Step 6
Drizzle a little olive oil over the breadcrumb topping to help it crisp up in the oven.
Step 7
Bake the fish fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fish is cooked through (it should easily flake with a fork).
Step 8
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple salad. Enjoy!
