How to Make Baked Fish With Crispy Herbed Shrimp Topping

1. **Make the Marinade:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Place fish fillets (about 1.5 lbs) in a single layer in a baking dish, skin-side up.
2. **Marinate the Fish:** Pour all but 1/4 cup of the marinade over the fish. Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
3. **Prepare the Shrimp Topping:** In a separate bowl, combine 1 pound cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon capers (drained), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and the reserved 1/4 cup marinade.
4. **Season the Topping:** Season the shrimp mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
5. **Bake the Fish:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the fish from the refrigerator and bake for 10 minutes, skin-side down.
6. **Add Topping and Finish Baking:** Spread the shrimp topping evenly over the fish fillets. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
7. **Serve:** Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
