Oven-Fried Fish Recipe - Crispy and Delicious

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 fillets white fish (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling)
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges (for serving)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for optimal crispiness.
  2. Prepare the Coating

    In a bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

    Mix well to ensure an even coating.
  3. Coat the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.

    Make sure each fillet is thoroughly coated.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Place coated fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between fillets for even cooking.
  5. Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Drizzle olive oil over the coated fish fillets.

    This helps to achieve a golden and crispy texture.
  6. Bake the Fish

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until fish is cooked through and crispy.

    Check for doneness by flaking the fish with a fork.
  7. Serve

    Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.

    Use lemon juice for added flavor.
