Ingredients
Fish & Seasoning
- 4 piece Fish Fillets about 6 oz each; any white fish such as cod, haddock, or tilapia work well
- 1/2 tsp Salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground, if possible
Mayo Topping
- 1 tbsp Butter melted
- 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp Onion Flakes or 1/4 small finely chopped onion
Crumb Topping & Garnish
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumb panko breadcrumbs recommended for extra crispiness
- 1 tbsp Parsley dried, for garnish
- 1 Lemon for serving (wedges), optional
Instructions
Prepare the Fish
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Make the Mayo Topping
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, mayonnaise, onion flakes, and remaining salt and pepper. Mix well.
Preheat Oven & Arrange Fish
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the fish fillets in a baking dish, ensuring about 1 centimeter of space between each.
Top & Bake
- Spread the mayo mixture evenly over each fillet. Top with breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For extra crispy breadcrumbs, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Garnish & Serve
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with a lemon wedge, if desired. Mashed potatoes or a simple green salad make excellent accompaniments.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Baked Fish:
- For extra flavor, marinate the fish in lemon juice for 15-20 minutes before baking.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish; ensure adequate space between fillets for even cooking.
- Use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter, crispier topping.
- Check the fish's doneness by gently flaking it with a fork. It should flake easily when cooked through.
