This simple fish recipe is baked with a mix of garlic, butter, seasoned breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese. 15 mins to prep and 12 mins in the oven. Great option for a semi-fancy weeknight dinner.
I bought my fish spice/rub from a Middle Eastern store close to home. You could replace this with Cajun seasoning or a different spice rub if you want.

minutesIngredients
½ kg red snapper fillets
4 tbsp butter
1 garlic clove (minced)
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp fish spice
½ tsp freshly ground pepper
½ tsp red chilli flakes
2 tbsp coriander leaves
3-4 tbsp breadcrumbs
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
Directions
- Wash and pat dry the fish fillets.
- Line a non-stick tray with baking paper.
- Spray the fillets with oil and lay them out on the baking tray.
- Preheat oven to 200C.
- In a frying pan, melt the butter on very low heat and add the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, fish spice, pepper, red chilli flakes, and finely chopped coriander leaves. Cook on very low heat for 2 minutes.
- Use a pastry brush to lightly coat both sides of fish with the butter and herb mixture.
- Add the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese to the remaining herb butter mixture. Stir well.
- Portion out the crumb mixture equally and spread over the fillets.
- Bake for about 12 minutes. The fish will be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done.
- While the fish is baking, prepare your sides. I made steamed, salted edamame and lightly roasted carrots.
- Serve while hot.
