How to Make Parmesan Basil Perch

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position oven rack in the middle.
  2. Lightly grease a 13x9x2 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine.
  5. Brush one side of 4 (4-6 ounce) perch fillets with melted margarine.
  6. Dip the margarine-coated side of the fish into the parmesan-basil crumb mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  7. Place the coated fish fillets in the prepared baking dish, coated side up.
  8. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Garnish with 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley before serving.
