Ingredients

• 4 pieces snapper fillets
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 pieces lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

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.

Step 2

Rinse the snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with the flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with a mixture of Parmesan cheese, Italian breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Dredge each snapper fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated, and finally press it into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, covering it completely.

Step 5

Place the breaded fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the top of each fillet to help them crisp up during baking.

Step 6

Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the Snapper Parmesan hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, and a lemon wedge on the side for an added burst of flavor.
