Ingredients
– 2 firm white fish fillets (about 5 oz / 150g each), skin off, at room temperature for main protein
– 2 tbsp dijon mustard (can substitute with mayo) for gluing crumb and tangy flavor
– Olive oil spray for golden crisp crumb
– Salt and pepper for seasoning fish
– 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs for crisp crust
– 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped (optional) for freshness and color
– 1/3 cup (30g) parmesan, finely grated for cheesy savory flavor
– 1 garlic clove, minced for garlic aroma
– 1 tbsp olive oil for crisp brown crumb
– Pinch of salt for crumb taste
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat your grill/broiler on high. Line up your ingredients and set up a baking tray if you plan to transfer the fish before finishing.
2-Second Step: Mix all crumb ingredients together well: panko, optional parsley, finely grated parmesan, minced garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
3-Third Step: Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Spread dijon mustard on the top of each fillet only (you can substitute mayo if you prefer).
4-Fourth Step: Press the mustard-coated side of the fish into the crumb mixture firmly so the crumb sticks well. Then spray the crumb with olive oil spray for extra golden color.
5-Fifth Step: Drizzle 1/2 tbsp oil in a skillet and preheat it over high heat.
6-Sixth Step: Once the skillet is hot, place the fillets in the skillet. Put them under the grill/broiler about 5 inches from the heat. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the crumb is golden and the fish is cooked, turning as needed.
7-Seventh Step: Check doneness using the βflake test.β Fish should flake easily when done. For safety, aim for about 60Β°C/140Β°F internal temperature.
8-Final Step: Serve immediately with lemon wedges. The lemon brightens the parmesan garlic crumb and makes each bite taste fresh.
