Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.

      Coat the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. This will help the coating adhere better. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula or brush, generously spread the mayonnaise mixture over each fillet, making sure to cover the entire surface.

        Prepare the Crust: In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.

          Crust the Fish: Sprinkle the panko mixture over the coated fillets, pressing down gently to ensure the crumbs stick well to the mayonnaise layer.

            Bake the Fish: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy. Use a fork to check for doneness (the fish should flake easily).

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the baked fish from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for added color and flavor. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
