Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish large enough to hold the fish fillets in a single layer.

Step 2

Season the fish fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides. Arrange them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until it thickens, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and Dijon mustard. Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and remove from heat.

Step 6

Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the fish fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Mix until the breadcrumbs are lightly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese sauce.

Step 8

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through (an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C) and the topping is golden and crispy.

Step 9

Sprinkle the finished dish with freshly chopped parsley for garnish. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or a green salad.
