Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets
- 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Mix well to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Add olive oil to the breadcrumb mixture and stir until the mixture is coated but not too wet. This will help the breadcrumb coating stick to the fish fillets.
Step 4
Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 5
Place each fish fillet on the prepared baking sheet and evenly distribute the herb breadcrumb mixture over the top of each fillet, pressing gently to ensure it adheres.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness. Enjoy your meal!
