Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 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 place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined.
Step 4
Brush the olive oil mixture generously over the top of each fish fillet, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the fish fillets, pressing gently to ensure the topping adheres well.
Step 7
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork. The breadcrumbs should be golden and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the oven baked French fish fillets with a wedge of lemon, a side salad, or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
