Parmesan Crusted Baked Fish

6 servings
This is a versatile baked fish recipe. Fish fillets are baked with a breadcrumb and Parmesan cheese topping for a flavorful, crunchy coating.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs

    or panko

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

    plus 1/2 tablespoon softened

  • 2 pounds fish fillets

Directions

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 375 F. Blend together the milk and salt in a shallow bowl.

  3. 3

    Combine the breadcrumbs, paprika, and Parmesan cheese in another bowl.

  4. 4

    Dip the fish fillets into the milk mixture, then press them down into the crumb mixture until they're well coated on all sides. Reserve the coated fish. If using thawed frozen fillets, pat dry very well with paper towels before dipping in the milk mixture and coating with the cheese crumbs

  5. 5

    Grease an 11.5 x 7.5 x 2-inch baking dish with the 1/2 tablespoon softened butter, being sure to reach all sides and the bottom of the dish.

  6. 6

    Arrange the fish in the prepared baking dish. Ideally, the fillets shouldn't overlap in the dish. Drizzle the melted butter over the fillets.

  7. 7

    Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Check for doneness; the fish should flake easily with a fork when ready. Serve the fish right away with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
