How to Make Baked Parmesan Fish

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
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.
In a separate shallow dish, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/4 cup milk.
Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Dredge the egg-coated fillet in the parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Arrange the coated fish fillets in the prepared baking dish.
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).
Serve immediately and enjoy!
