Crispy Garlic Parmesan Crumbed Fish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven broiler (grill) on high heat. Arrange oven rack to about 5-inches (15cm) from the top heat element.
2. Combine breadcrumbs, parsley, parmesan cheese, garlic, melted butter, olive oil, salt and cracked black pepper in a shallow bowl. Mix well to combine.
3. Season fish all over with salt, pepper and a pinch of garlic powder. Spread 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise over the top of each fillet.
4. Grab a fillet and press the mayo-side of the fish firmly into the crumb mixture ensuring it sticks evenly. Repeat with remaining fish.
5. Lightly spray each fillet with cooking oil spray.
6. Drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil into an oven-proof pan or cast-iron skillet. Heat over the stove on high-heat.
7. When pan is hot, arrange the fillets into the hot pan and place under the broiler (or grill) until the fish is cooked through and the crumb is crisp and golden, about 5-6 minutes. Rotate the pan as needed for even cooking halfway through. (To check if fish is cooked, use a fork to pull the flesh at the thickest part. It is cooked through when flakes easily.
8. Squeeze over some lemon juice and garnish with fresh chopped parlsey to serve.
