~4-6 oz. each*

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the fish dry with paper towel and place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and brush to coat on both sides.

In a wide but shallow bowl, add the parmesan cheese and all the spices. Mix to combine well.

Using your hands, place each fillet into the bowl of parmesan cheese one at a time. Press gently but firmly to nicely coat both sides then place back on the parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer. Don't overcrowd the pan and work in batches if you have to.

Cook for 5-12 minutes (depending on the thickness of your fish). Mine were paper thin so they only took around the 5 minute mark. However, if you're using proper 4-6 oz. fillets, they should take anywhere from 10-12 minutes. They're done when you can easily flake the flesh with a fork. Top with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.
