Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 for garnish lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, fresh parsley, and fresh dill. Spread this herb mixture evenly over the top of each fish fillet.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Gently press this breadcrumb mixture onto the herb-covered side of each fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Step 5
Bake the fish fillets in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top before eating.
