How to Make Best Oven Fried Fish Ever

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon dried thyme.
  2. Place fish fillets (about 1.5 lbs) in a resealable plastic bag.
  3. Pour the yogurt mixture over the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the fish to fully marinate.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  6. In a shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs and 1 cup crushed cornflakes.
  7. Remove fillets from the bag and gently drain off excess marinade.
  8. Dredge each fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres evenly.
  9. Arrange the coated fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Drizzle lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the breading is golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  12. Serve immediately. Enjoy plain, with tartar sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce!
