Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Tear the white bread into pieces and place them in a food processor.
- Add the basil leaves to the food processor.
- Pulse until the bread and basil form coarse crumbs.
- Transfer the crumbs into a bowl, add the olive oil and grated Parmesan cheese, then mix well to evenly coat the crumbs.
- Place the white fish fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
- Spread the pasta sauce evenly over the top of the fish fillets.
- Press the bread crumb mixture onto the sauce-covered fish, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Place the baking sheet or dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
- Note: Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish fillets.
- Once baked, remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or rice.
Tips:
- Use fresh white fish fillets for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have fresh basil leaves, dried basil can be a good substitute. Use about a third of the amount compared to fresh basil.
- Ensure the bread crumbs are finely ground for a more even crust.
- For extra zest, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or lemon zest to the crumb mixture.
- Bake the fish just until it flakes easily with a fork to avoid overcooking.
And there you have it — a delectable Parmesan-crumbed fish bake that is sure to impress! Serve it with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal that is both nutritious and satisfying. Enjoy your culinary creation and the compliments from your loved ones!
