Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in lemon zest for added citrusy flavor.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel, then drizzle with olive oil and rub to coat both sides.
Dredge each fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat evenly. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden and crispy.
Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the baked fish for a zesty finish.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
