Gone are the days of eating under-seasoned fish. Garlic parmesan crumbed fish, a recipe inspired by your favourite Crispy Garlic Parmesan Salmon, is a 10 minute easy fish dinner using minimal ingredients.
CRUMBED FISH
A golden, crunchy crumb enveloping a fillet of tender, flakey fish. Could dinner get any better than this? Although, I know what you’re probably thinking – how easy could it be if I have to make an egg wash? That’s the good news folks – there is no egg wash. Simply pile your crumb mixture on top of your fillet and you’ll have:
Juicy, flakey cooked fish Crispy garlic parmesan crumb topping Minimal ingredients Maximum flavours Minimal mess Addictively easy homemade cooking
SO EASY in fact that we’re including three different cooking methods to ensure you get the very best results!
HOW TO MAKE CRUMBED FISH
START WITH A GARLIC PARMESAN CRUMB: minced garlic, fresh or store-bought shredded parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs (or salmon meal for a low carb option), salt, pepper, fresh herb, melted butter and a drizzle of olive oil.SPREAD FISH WITH MAYO: The mayo acts as a glue without the need for egg wash, while adding crispy flavour.PRESS FILLET INTO CRUMB MIXTURE. Spoon extra filling over the top if you like it fully loaded.GET YOUR PAN NICE AND HOT to get your fish sizzling and crispy on the bottom.BROIL to ensure your fish cooks perfectly on the top and creates a deliciously crispy, golden crumb. You’ll be in awe at the flavours emanating from that crumb – it tastes fried! Fried fish without the fat. Crumbed fish can be cooked under the broiler or directly in the oven.
HOW TO COOK CRUMBED FISH
STOVE TOP/OVEN If you don’t have an oven-proof pan or skillet, simply prepare fish as per the recipe, then drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil into a pan over a high-heat. Fry fish, crumb-side up, for two minutes, then carefully transfer onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Finish your perfectly crumbed fish off in the oven under the broiler/grill to get that crumb topping nice and golden. JUST OVEN METHOD Lightly oil your baking sheet with nonstick oil spray. Prepare fish as above with crumb topping. Arrange fish fillets onto prepared tray and bake at 390°F (200°C) for 10 – 12 minutes, then broil (grill) on a high heat for a golden crumb.
CRUMBED FISH TIPS
Make sure you position your oven rack to about 5-inches (15cm) from the top element before preheating. You can use either skin-on or skinless fish fillets. Use fresh shredded parmesan in the crumb topping instead of the fine powdery parmesan found in plastic packets. It gives the crumb a better flavour. You can use fresh chopped dill instead of – or in addition to parsley! We use Panko breadcrumbs, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Don’t forget to spray your crumb topping with a light coating of cooking oil like olive oil spray (NOT non-stick oil) to help the topping brown. Serve crumbed fish immediately with a squeeze of lemon juice.
