Enjoy this oven baked fish recipe that uses panko to fake out your taste buds as being fried fish.

I love having fish in my weekly menu because it can be a huge time saver. When I have a busy night ahead of me and not a long time to cook, I love putting together a quick meal with fish. Most fish only takes 10 to 15 minutes to cook when using either the stovetop or the oven or one of my new favorite tools, my air fryer!

You can make so many different types of meals with fish. This recipe is for “fried fish”. Since you are using panko breadcrumbs and baking it you are playing a trick on your taste buds, they will think you are eating fried fish but you are really having a healthy version of fried fish. It’s so simple to make and not a lot of ingredients you have to buy.

You can also change out the seasonings for different flavors some of my favorites are Jamaican Jerk seasoning, Cajun seasoning, or Asian seasoning. Hope you enjoy!
