Breaded Fish Recipe (Baked In The Oven)

My "foolproof" recipe for Baked Crunchy Breaded Fish Recipe with all my tips and tricks. While I used cod as my breaded fish fillet, this exact recipe also works with haddock as well. The "crunchy" part of the dish comes from the homemade fish breading made with breadcrumbs flavored with shallots, garlic, and fresh parsley. It all comes together in less than an hour and is a healthy fried fish recipe that you can serve to everyone in your family.
