We love to fish at my house. We have alot of little stock ponds, and we mostly catch bluegill. More often than not, we fry it but this is a really nice change of pace.

Time 30m

Yield 8 fillets, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons parsley, fresh
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lb bluegill fillets

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a shallow dish.
  • Mix remaining dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Dip fillets in butter then coat in bread crumb mixture.
  • Spray a baking pan with non-stick spray.
  • Place a single layer of fillets on pan.
  • Bake 350 degrees, uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • Turn fillets and bake another 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh bluegill: The fresher the fish, the better the dish will taste. Look for fish with bright eyes, red gills, and a firm body.
  • Clean the bluegill properly: Remove the scales, guts, and gills from the fish. Rinse the fish thoroughly inside and out.
  • Use a light hand with the breading: Too much breading will make the fish greasy and heavy. Use just enough breading to coat the fish evenly.
  • Fry the fish in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the fish is added. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the fish will not cook evenly. Fry the fish in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Bluegill parmesan is best served hot out of the fryer. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley.

Conclusion:

Bluegill parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion. The fish is crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and the Parmesan cheese adds a rich and nutty flavor. Serve bluegill parmesan with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
