Ingredients for Baked Parmesan Roughy

  • Corn Flakes
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • Orange Roughy Fillets

How to Make Baked Parmesan Roughy

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease a 15x10x1 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1 ½ cups crushed cornflakes, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and ¼ cup milk.
  4. Dip each roughy fillet (about 4-6, 4-6 oz each) in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Place the coated fillets in the cornflake mixture bag. Seal the bag and gently shake until the fillets are evenly coated.
  6. Arrange the coated roughy fillets in the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.

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.
