Ingredients for Baked Parmesan Fish

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Orange Roughy Fillets

How to Make Baked Parmesan Fish

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/4 cup milk.
  4. Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Dredge the egg-coated fillet in the parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Arrange the coated fish fillets in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
