Ingredients

4 Fish Fillets* ~4-6 oz. each
¾ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Dried Parsley
½ tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
Fresh Chopped Parsley and Lemon Wedges for serving, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the fish dry with paper towel.
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.
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.

Notes

Although this recipe can also be used for red fish such as trout or salmon, white fish of any kind is actually my favourite way to make it. For this recipe, I used sole fillets. However, other good white fish options include cod, halibut, basa, tilapia, rockfish, snapper, haddock, or grouper.

You can use fresh or frozen fish in this recipe but be sure to thaw the fish first if using frozen!
