Ingredients

• 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
• 1 cup Asiago cheese
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

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

In a shallow bowl, combine the asiago cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 3

In a second shallow bowl, add the flour.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.

Step 5

Pat the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with a paper towel. Dip each fillet into the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Next, coat the floured fillet in the whisked eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Finally, press the fillet firmly into the asiago breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.

Step 8

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crusted fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve hot with lemon wedges and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
