Ingredients

  • 4 red snapper fillets
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Мethod of preparation

1. **Preheat your oven**: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil. 2. **Prepare the crust mixture**: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, dill, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended. 3. **Dredging the fillets**: Arrange three shallow dishes – one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with the parmesan mixture. Dip each red snapper fillet first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the eggs, and finally press firmly into the parmesan mixture to coat evenly. Repeat for all fillets. 4. **Sear the fillets**: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary. 5. **Bake to perfection**: Transfer the seared fillets to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. 6. **Serve**: Plate the crispy parmesan herb crusted red snapper fillets and garnish with lemon wedges. Enjoy this delightful dish with your favorite side dishes and a drizzle of lemon caper sauce if desired.
