Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

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

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and lay them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle each fillet with lemon juice and season evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and melted butter. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined and resembles damp sand.

Step 5

Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over each fish fillet, pressing gently to ensure it adheres to the surface.

Step 6

Drizzle a little olive oil over the breadcrumb topping to help it crisp up in the oven.

Step 7

Bake the fish fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fish is cooked through (it should easily flake with a fork).

Step 8

Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple salad. Enjoy!
