A delightful baked fish recipe with a crispy herb-infused crust, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Combine the grated parmesan cheese, dried sage, oregano, basil, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and panko bread crumbs in a mixing bowl.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Pour the milk into a shallow dish and dip each fish fillet into the milk, ensuring it is fully coated.
Use cold milk to help the crust adhere better to the fish.
Press each milk-coated fish fillet into the herb crust mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Press gently but firmly to make sure the crust sticks well to the fish.
Place the coated fish fillets in a greased baking dish and drizzle melted butter over the top.
Use a brush to evenly distribute the melted butter over the fish.
Bake the fish in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Check the fish at the 12-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
Serve the baked fish immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or a lemon wedge for added presentation.
