Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper, then place them in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of each fish fillet, ensuring it covers most of the surface.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the cheese-topped fillets using a spoon or spatula.

Step 5

In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and chopped parsley. Mix well to coat the breadcrumbs evenly with the butter.

Step 6

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the mayonnaise-covered fish fillets, creating a thin, even layer.

Step 7

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the fillets are tender and flaky, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the fish cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
