2fillets of Alaska pollock (skinless & boneless)If you can't find Alaska pollock, you could sub cod or haddock; cooking times may vary since these are thicker fillets.
A few pinches of sea salt and cracked pepper
1/2cupall purpose flour
1egg, beaten
1cuppanko breadcrumbsYou could use Italian breadcrumbs or homemade if you wish; the panko does give off a better crunch, though!
2TBSPgrated fresh Parmesan cheeseRomano cheese also works
1tspItalian herbs
1medium lemon, zested then cut into wedges for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350º F.
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper; set it aside.
Set up your breading station with three shallow trays or pie plates for your: one for flour, one for panko breadcrumbs, and one for a beaten egg. Mix the grated parmesan, lemon zest, and Italian seasoning into the breadcrumbs.
Gently pat the fish fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture; season them with some salt and pepper, then dredge each fillet one by one into the flour, the egg, and then the breadcrumb mixture. Place onto the baking sheet when done.
Transfer the baking tray of fish into the oven and bake for about 8-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145º F. (You can check the exact temperature easily with a meat thermometer.)
When done, remove from the oven and serve with lemon wedges for spritzing.
