Ingredients
- Fresh white fish fillets (haddock or cod)
- 4 fillets (about 1.5 lbs total)
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons, melted
- Lemon
- 1, sliced
- Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely during baking.
- In a greased baking dish, lay the fish fillets side by side. Season generously with salt and black pepper to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and chopped parsley. Mix well until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with butter and the parsley is distributed throughout.
- Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of each fish fillet, pressing down slightly to ensure it adheres well.
- Top each fillet with a slice of lemon to infuse a refreshing zest into the fish while it bakes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and the breadcrumb topping is a delightful golden brown.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional lemon slices and fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider marinating the fish in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for 30 minutes before baking.
- You can substitute half of the breadcrumbs with crushed nuts for an extra crunch and a nutty flavor.
- Pair this dish with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
