Ingredients
Scale
- 4 white fish fillets (cod or haddock)
- ½ cup (120 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup (120 ml) fresh breadcrumbs
- ½ cup (120 ml) fresh parsley, chopped
- ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) olive oil
- 2 lemons
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for effortless cooking and cleanup.
- Herb Crust Creation: Blend lemon zest, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley, and basil in a mixing bowl to craft a fragrant, textured coating.
- Marinade Infusion: Whisk lemon juice and olive oil to create a vibrant, zesty liquid that will enhance the fish’s natural flavors.
- Fish Seasoning and Coating: Place fish fillets on the prepared sheet, season with salt and pepper, drizzle with lemon-olive oil mixture, then generously cover with the herb-Parmesan crust, gently pressing to ensure adherence.
- Baking Process: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until the fish is perfectly cooked and the crust transforms into a crispy, golden-brown exterior.
- Serving: Allow the fish to rest briefly, then plate with fresh lemon wedges, serving immediately to capture the optimal temperature and flavor profile.
Notes
- Crust Adhesion Tip: Press herb mixture gently but firmly onto fish to ensure a crispy, even coating that won’t fall off during baking.
- Temperature Check: Use a digital meat thermometer to verify fish has reached 145°F (63°C) for perfect doneness without overcooking.
- Moisture Preservation: Avoid using wet fish fillets; pat them completely dry with paper towels to help the crust stick and achieve maximum crispiness.
- Herb Freshness Matters: Use freshly chopped herbs for a more vibrant flavor profile and aromatics that elevate the entire dish.
