Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add parchment paper to a large rimmed baking sheet. Set aside.
- Whisk together the egg and the buttermilk in a large, shallow bowl. Set aside.
- Add the panko bread crumbs to a large shallow bowl and combine with the remaining ingredients: Italian seasoning mix, dried basil, garlic powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Pat dry the fish filets, using tongs or by hand, take a fish filet, dip it into the buttermilk mixture, toss into the breadcrumb mix. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the others.
- Ensure the breadcrumb mixture is not soggy or wet after tossing the first filets, if needed add more panko breadcrumbs. For a thicker coating, after the first round of dipping, dip each fish filet again into the buttermilk mixture and breadcrumb mixture. In that case the panko breadcrumb quantity should be doubled.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the coating is golden brown and fish is fork tender. Spray with cooking spray mid baking for the coating to have a shiny, golden brown color.
- Remove from oven, lightly squeeze some lemon juice onto the fish filets and garnish with parsley. Serve with lemon aioli and lemon wedges on the side.
Homemade Lemon Aioli:
- Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl and stir until fully combined. Taste and adjust for salt, pepper or lemon juice.
