Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs (optional, for crunch)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.

Step 4

Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of each fish fillet, making sure they are well coated.

Step 5

If using panko breadcrumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the mayonnaise-coated fillets for added crunch.

Step 6

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
