Crispy, delicious oven baked lemon parmesan crusted fish! A simple dinner to make with a side salad or your choice of sides.
The fish is coated in a lemony parmesan gluten-free crumb mixture, and baked to perfection. Crispy outside, buttery inside, and so easy to whip up!
You guys already know i’m all about the hassle-free recipes, especially during the week. We’ve been getting pretty tired of salmon as our main fish, so I couldn’t resist when I saw some buttery sole at the fish market.
I love anything crusted, so I blended my own breadcrumbs using grain free crackers that I had in my pantry. I tossed the crumbs with a little lemon zest and grated parmesan, and the combination was incredible.
The fish itself cooks in under 15 minutes, which is why I love this recipe. It so flavorful, and pairs well with just about anything.
What you’ll need to make gluten-free crusted fish:
- White fish- I used sole in this recipe because it has a subtle, flakey texture. You can use any white fish you prefer!
- Breadcrumbs- any crumbs (regular, whole wheat or gluten-free), or panko would work. If you have none, blend up your favorite GF crackers to make some!
- Eggs
- Grated parmesan- you can substitute nutritional yeast to keep this recipe dairy-free
- Lemon zest
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper
Sounds simple right?
You toss the fish in the whisked egg, then coat it in breadcrumbs and bake it until fully cooked! It would be delicious over a salad, with a side of roasted potatoes, or some roasted veggies.
I could honestly eat this dish every week. It’s light, flavorful, and a great source of protein. Check out some of the sides I recommend below, and be sure to leave a star rating + review if you try it!
