Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 2 cups Cornflakes
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
• 4 slices Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

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 or cooking spray.

Step 2

Place the cornflakes in a large resealable plastic bag and crush them into small crumbs using a rolling pin, or pulse them in a food processor. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow dish.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish, mix the grated Parmesan cheese with the crushed cornflakes.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

In a fourth shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.

Step 6

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dredge each fillet first in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg wash, and finally press it into the Parmesan-cornflake mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 7

Place the coated fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.

Step 8

Lightly drizzle the fillets with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray to help achieve a golden crust.

Step 9

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness, if desired.
