How to Make Mouth Watering Oven Fried Fish

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (240°C).
  2. Wipe 4 (6-ounce) fish fillets with lemon juice from 1/2 a lemon and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup milk, 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (or to taste), and 1 teaspoon minced garlic.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup crushed cornflake crumbs, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder.
  5. Dip each fish fillet into the milk mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Immediately dredge each fillet in the seasoned cornflake crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Let the coated fillets rest for 5 minutes to allow the crumbs to adhere completely.
  8. Arrange the fillets in a lightly oiled shallow baking dish.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes on the middle rack, or until the fish is cooked through and the crumbs are golden brown and crispy. Do not turn the fillets.
  10. Let the fish rest for 2-3 minutes before cutting into 6 pieces.
  11. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
