Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Whitefish fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons (melted) Butter
• 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Pat the whitefish fillets dry with a paper towel, then season them on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and grated Parmesan cheese together until well combined.

Step 4

Spread an even layer of the mayonnaise-Parmesan mixture over the top of each fillet.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, chopped fresh parsley, and melted butter. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the coated side of the fillets, pressing it gently to adhere.

Step 7

Place the fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the topping is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Baked Whitefish Parmesan warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
