• 2 tablespoon Onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
• ¼ cup Cilantro or parsley (chopped)

 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven at 375°F / 190°C / Gas Mark 5

Step 2: Prep – Clean, wash, and pat dry the fish fillets. Place the fish in a baking tray lined with foil for easy cleanup. Season the fish fillets with salt, pepper, and lemon juice – set aside.Pro tip – Lemon juice helps to take the fish smell of fish away.

Step 3: Breadcrumb mix – In a bowl, combine onion, garlic, herbs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Cheddar, salt, and pepper. Combine until the olive oil evenly coats the breadcrumbs and looks crumbly (not too wet nor too dry).

Step 4: Top the fish – Divide the mixture evenly between the fish and top each fillet with the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 5: Bake the fish – Bake the fish on the center rack for 15 minutes or until the fish is flaky when touched with a fork.

Step 6: Cool – Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.Pro tip – Use a large flat spatula to pick and transfer the fish without breaking.
