Crispy Baked Red Emperor Fillet

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
2. Prepare the Coating:
   • In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the Fillets:
   • Pat the Red Emperor fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil.
   • Dredge each fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
4. Bake the Fillets:
   • Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle with a bit more olive oil.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the crispy fillets with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Suggestions:

• Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
• For extra flavour, you can add a drizzle of garlic butter on top of the fillets before serving.
