  6. First, dip the fillet in milk mixture.
  7. Then, press the fillet into the parmesan-crumbs and evenly coat on both sides.

  10. Drizzle with melted butter on all the fillets.
  11. Place the baking sheet on the top most rack and bake for 15 minutes.
  12. After 15 minutes, (wear oven gloves, it's very hot) and take the baking sheet out of the oven.
  13. Let cool down for a few minutes.
  14. Serve the baked crusted fillets along with couscous, rice, roasted veggies, mashed potatoes etc.
  15. I served with veggie couscous and sprinkled parmesan cheese over the couscous. It was yum.
