Parmesan-Encrusted Striped Bass

Recipe

• 1 ½ pound striped bass fillets, skinless, cut into serving-size pieces
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
• ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup panko bread crumbs

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

Combine oil, salt, pepper, garlic and parsley in a shallow dish. Place fillets in the mixture and marinate for 10 minutes, turning once.

Remove fish from marinade and dredge in cheese and in breadcrumbs.

Arrange fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until the center is fully cooked, which should take around 20 to 25 minutes.
