From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is another simple recipe that is perfect for teaching children or other novice cooks their way around the kitchen. It uses a handful of common ingredients and a simple cooking technique to make a meal that can be table ready in 30 minutes. The baked fillets can be served as a dinner entree or placed on buns and spread with tartar sauce to make a really nice fish sandwich. Will this version ever replace its batter-fried coastal cousin? Probably not, but it is a quick and healthy alternative that is also easy to make. We were in a coastal community today and freshly caught Pacific cod was available at our favorite dock-side shanty. I couldn't resist the temptation and came home with a healthy stash of cod and crab for the larder. The cod fillets made wonderful sandwiches when prepared in this manner. While I used cod, any flat filleted fish works well in this recipe. I hope you'll try this. Here are the particulars.
Parmesan Baked Fish Fillets...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons salt
2 pounds thawed fresh or frozen fish fillets
3/4 cup fine dry Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 to 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
melted butter
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 525 degrees F. Grease a baking dish large enough to hold fish fillets in a single layer.
2) Combine milk and salt in a shallow bowl large enough for dipping fish fillets. Combine bread crumbs, paprika, and Parmesan cheese in another bowl.
3) Dip fish fillets into milk mixture then into crumb mixture. Firmly press crumb mixture into fish fillets. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle melted butter over fillets. Bake on top shelf of oven for about 12 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Yield: 6 servings.

1 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon chopped capers
1-1/2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
dash ground cayenne pepper
Directions:

I really like crusted fish, it's so yummy!
I love everything about this recipe!
Simple fish dish. Looks delicious! I need to try that tartar sauce. :)
Oooh, definitely going to make your tartar sauce! Sounds delicious!
This looks really good! I have used a similar recipe for coating chicken in a parmesan crust but funnily enough I never thought to do it with fish. Thanks for sharing!
do you think one could use the breading with chicken instead of fish? This looks great for me as I love fish but the rest of my family could do chicken....YUM
Ooh! I'm always looking for slightly healthier fish recipes, and this dish with baked fish seems just perfect. I love tartar sauce, too! I could eat it every day!
Yum - this looks delicious Mary and your tartar sauce looks wonderful too.
That fresh-caught Pacific cod must taste wonderful in this tasty preparation!
Looks so good! We love cod but they are extremely expensive over here! And the tartar sauce looks good too! Perfect with the fish! Thanks for sharing, have a lovely Sunday!

Found your tweet on Twitter! You should go into Twitter and import your fork "one bite" icon as your avatar photo so that people will know it is really you!
The recipe looks so delicious -but expected nothing less. Do you have a recipe for sweet pickle relish? I hate buying processed foods and love tartar sauce and your recipe and sauce look divine!

Dear Mary
How are you? Here after a long time! I like this dish and I will get all the ingredients here in India. So will try it. I like the tarter sauce also.
Have a nice week ahead
Once again I am jealous of the fresh fish in your area. I cannot wait to move to the coast.
Indeed, baked breaded fish was one of the first things I learned to make when living on my own. I've always wanted to make my own tartar sauce, thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend!
Looks delicious and so much better than frying! I will have to remember this, I always do the fry thing, which has so many calories. Thanks for the recipe!
Best,
Gloria
There is nothing nicer than buying a fresh piece of fish from the docks. With that crunchy crust and tartare sauce, it must have been really good.
Looks wonderful! Has to be much better than the breaded cod filets we had yesterday at the hospital cafeteria! I am going to copy it.
I love it when typically bad-for-you dishes are remade in a healthy way. This looks great!
Mary, looks wonderful. I have my nieces and nephew coming next week so I am making plans on what to cook with them. I think this sounds right up our alley for a lunch (on a sandwich of course)
Dave
This is a perfect post! I will make this over and over and my girls will be grateful to you!
Thanks
Mary
I was just given a gift of some fresh fish . . . how is that for a sweet hostess gift. And this recipe suits us well. Thanks.
Fondly,
Glenda
Oh this looks delicious. I love the baked fish idea...especially with that tartar sauce. Thank you so much for sharing this with me!
I used to make something like this a long time ago, so glad to be reminded of it!
Sorry that have been missing for awhile, it's Sunday here and this parmesan baked fish sounds absolutely terrific for the day. And it's best to go along with tartar sauce.
Happy Friendship Day to you, Mary! Hope you're having a fabulous day.
Blessings, Kristy
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous piece of fish! I wish I could have that right now... My tummy is rumbling!
Really, quick and healthy is just perfect for us! And if it includes parmesan and breading then it is definitely one I will try. I don't fry and I rarely do fish because I don't feel comfortable cooking it, but this seems the perfect recipe for me. And I love the homemade tartar sauce recipe! I've been looking for one! Oh husband will love this!
Mary, So simple and yet so appealing and tasty. I've never been a tartar sauce fan though... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
I think I just decided on what I'm making for dinner tonight!!! This looks incredible! Thanks for sharing!

I am baking up some cod myself for lunch for our next challenge. Yours looks classic and delicious!
This is my husband's favorite way to have fish :) Yours looks so tasty! Love the tarter sauce!
Ahhh.. you know me and my love for fish :) I make something very similar to this.. it's delicious!
Love the way you prepared this; must taste heavenly; anything with Parmesan get me excited.

Hi Mary
What did you use to grease your baking dish. Also, you mentioned baking the fish on the top shelf, is that the shelf above the center shelf.
Jackie, I used butter to grease the baking pan, although a nonstick spray could also be used. I consider the upper third of the oven to be the portion above the middle rack. Have a great day.Blessings...Mary
I've coated chicken with a similar mixture, but haven't tried it with fish. Will have to give a try soon, as I know both of my boys will devour it!
