Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and parsley (if using).

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour.

Step 5

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Dredge each fillet in the flour, ensuring it is lightly coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Dip the floured fish fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Press the egg-coated fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, patting it gently to ensure it is well-coated on all sides.

Step 8

Place the breaded fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.

Step 9

Lightly drizzle the fillets with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 10

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 11

Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two before serving.

Step 12

Serve the crispy fish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or tartar sauce. Enjoy!
