Ingredients

• 4 pieces grouper fillets
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs. In the third bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pat the grouper fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season with additional salt and pepper.

Step 4

Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it's well-coated. Finally, coat the fillet in the Parmesan-bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded grouper fillets. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve the Grouper Parmesan hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
