Ingredients

• 4 fillets White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set it aside.

Step 2

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and lightly season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 4

Pour the melted butter over the breadcrumb mixture and stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated and slightly moist.

Step 5

Place the fish fillets in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Firmly press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each fish fillet, ensuring a thick, even coating.

Step 6

Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let the fish rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
