Ingredients
4 (6-ounce) white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia), skin removed
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until fully blended.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Then press each fillet firmly into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top of the coated fish fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
