Ingredients

  • 4 Fish Fillets, ~4-6 oz. each*
  • 3/4 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Dried Parsley
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • Fresh Chopped Parsley and Lemon Wedges, for serving, optional

Directions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.
