Ingredients

• 4 pieces fish fillets (tilapia, cod, or haddock)
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to form a smooth sauce.

Step 4

In a separate shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese together.

Step 5

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Evenly spread a thin layer of the Dijon sauce mixture over the top of each fillet using a spoon or a brush.

Step 7

Lightly press the breadcrumb and parmesan mixture onto the Dijon-coated top of each fillet, ensuring an even coating.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb topping on each fillet to help it brown and crisp up during baking.

Step 9

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the fillets for 12-15 minutes, depending on their thickness, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

If desired, turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to give the topping a golden, crispy finish. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Step 11

Carefully remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
