Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, haddock)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a crumbly topping.
Step 3
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Evenly distribute the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture over the top of each fish fillet, pressing gently to adhere the topping.
Step 5
Bake the fish fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The topping should be golden brown.
Step 6
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fillets, along with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
