Notes & Tips
The crust is the whole point here — garlicky bread crumbs with fresh parsley, thyme, and a hit of Parmesan, bound together with butter and pressed onto the fillet before it goes in the oven. The fish stays tender underneath while the top gets golden. Serve it with a wedge of lemon and something green on the side.
