Healthy Breaded Baked Fish
Valentina P
Tender baked fish coated in a very simple blend of breadcrumbs, parmesan, olive oil, and parsley. No eggs needed. These fish fillets have a lovely light texture with accents of that crispy, Italian-style coating. Thank you nonna for the recipe.
How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 2 (6 ounce) white fish fillets (Note 1)
- 1/4 cup finely-ground unseasoned breadcrumbs (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon grated parmigiano reggiano
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Step 2: Stir together the breadcrumbs, parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper and transfer to a plate.
- Step 3: Rinse and pat the fish dry. Set up an assembly line of the seasoned crumbs and the olive oil in 2 separate plates. Dredge each fish fillet in the olive oil first, making sure to coat all sides and let the excess oil drip off. Then place the fish in the crumb plate and coat it entirely with the crumbs. Place the breaded fish on the lined baking sheet. Continue this process with all remaining fillets, adding more oil or seasoned crumbs as needed for the dimensions of your fillets. Sprinkle any extra seasoned crumbs and/or oil over the top of the fillets.
- Step 4: Bake the fillets for 22 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky. 22 to 25 minutes is perfect for a medium-thick fillet, such as tilapia. Thinner fish like sole will need less time, about 15 minutes. I like to flip the fish over in the last 10 minutes of cooking, but it is not necessary for fragile fish such as sole.
- Serve: Enjoy your fish with optional lemon juice and olive oil drizzled over the top.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Sea bass, tilapia, halibut, and sole all work well here. I've found cod and haddock to be a bit too flaky for this recipe. If you prefer to use swordfish, try this Sicilian Breaded Swordfish.
