Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 F. Spray a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in a single layer with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the melted butter, Parmesan (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Place the fish filets in the prepared baking pan, skin-side down, if applicable. Sprinkle the breadcrumb topping evenly over the fish. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown and crunchy. The internal temperature should be 145 F on an instant-read thermometer.

Step 4

Serve with the lemon wedges and a sprinkle of parsley.
