Crispy Lemon Herb Baked Fish with a Crunchy Topping

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped dill, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

3.In another bowl, mix the melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice together until combined.

4.Dip each fish fillet into the butter mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, covering both sides thoroughly. Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet.

5.Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of each fillet to help them crisp up in the oven.

6.Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the topping is golden brown and crispy.

7.Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
