How to Make Baked Fish Parmesan

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  3. Cut 1 pound of fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or your favorite) into serving-size pieces (about 4-6 pieces).
  4. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a shallow dish.
  5. Dip each fish piece into the melted butter, ensuring both sides are coated.
  6. Dredge the buttered fish in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Place the coated fish in a lightly buttered shallow baking dish.
  8. Drizzle the remaining melted butter over the fish.
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
