Ingredients for Baked Whitefish Parmesan

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Dry Onion Soup Mix
  • Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh Parsley
  • Paprika
  • White Fish Fillets
  • Peanut Oil

How to Make Baked Whitefish Parmesan

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 (1 ounce) package of dry onion soup mix. Mix well.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  4. Dip each whitefish fillet (about 6 ounces each, 2-3 fillets) into the sour cream mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, press the fish into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it lightly and evenly.
  5. Arrange the coated fish fillets in a lightly oiled 8x8 inch baking dish.
  6. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the fish.
  7. Bake for 8 minutes, until the fish is lightly browned.
  8. Carefully flip the fish fillets and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
  9. Serve immediately with roasted vegetables and brown rice. Wine pairing suggestion: Riesling, White Zinfandel, or Chablis.

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.
