Main Dish

Steps

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, chopped herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the fish fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Press the herb mixture onto the top of the fish fillet to create a crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for Herb-Crusted Baked Fish

A thin, even coating helps the crust brown uniformly; thick patches may stay soft.
The fish is ready when it flakes easily and looks opaque through the thickest part; avoid baking until it turns dry and chalky.
Chop herbs finely so they cling to the crumbs, and use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any juices.
