Panko Breaded Fish Fillet
Pinterest Hidden ImagePinterest Hidden Image

Before I met David, I was eating fish 🐟 every single week, sometimes even twice. My list of favorite fish is a long one. So far, I don’t think there is a fish I didn’t like and I’ve tried many. I’ve always used different methods to cook them such as steamed, broiled, pan-fried, en Papillote, grilled, and so on. I also like some of them as is… I mean raw, you know sushi, sashimi, tataki, or even tartar.
 
David has never been too crazy about fish. He has always been more of a “meat and potato” type of guy. After encouraging David to have fish more often (the ones he liked were salmon, steelhead, red snapper, and canned tuna), I had to be creative. Yep, I know… sometimes men are just like kids 👱‍♂️! So one dish I knew he would instantly like was this one, Panko Breaded Fish Fillet!
 
Every time I make this Panko Breaded Fish Fillet recipe, he enjoys it and at the same time he eats more fish. So I’m hitting two birds 🦜 with one stone or should I say two fish… not sure, lol!
 
At the beginning of the video 🎥, you see me grinding most of the Panko and keeping some coarse breadcrumbs on the side. I believe it adheres better to the fish that way without completely losing the crunchy texture. After all, I want to have the breadcrumbs on the fish not next to it otherwise it wouldn’t be a breaded fish fillet anymore.
 
I’m still working on different methods for him to enjoy more fish but it’s not easy. If you are in the same position as I am with younger and older kids at home 🏡, you should definitely give this Panko Breaded Fish Fillet dish a try and like me, work your way up… slowly 🐢!

Cook Time 17 minutes
Passive Time 0 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Panko® breadcrumbs, divided
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 tsp. hot paprika
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
  • 1/2 tbsp. fresh parsley or dill, chopped tips & tricks
  • 4 tbsp. butter, melted tips & tricks
  • 2 large fish fillets such as red snapper, sole, or haddock

Directions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  • Lightly grease a baking sheet lined with foil; set aside.
  • Add about ¾ cup of panko to a spice grinder and process until very fine.
  • In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs (fine & coarse), cheese, paprika, black pepper and parsley; stir in melted butter.
  • Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over the fillets and gently tap the breading down to help it stick.
  • Transfer to the preheated oven and cook, uncovered, for 17 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

Footnote: Cooking time varies with the thickness of the fillet. If the fillet is thin, start checking it at around 12 minutes to see if it's cooked.
