In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 egg yolks, zest of 1/2 lemon, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

In a larger bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley.

Drizzle in 6 tablespoons of unsalted melted butter and stir until breadcrumbs are coated.

Dip each piece of fish in the wet mix, ensuring it is well coated.

Transfer the coated fish to a rimmed baking sheet topped with an oven-safe cooking rack.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the fish for 25 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the tartar sauce by mixing 1 cup mayonnaise, juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/3 cup chopped pickles, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped capers, 1/2 teaspoon dill, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika.

Check the fish for doneness; it should register around 145°F (63°C).

Serve the fish on a plate with broccoli on the side, lemon wedges, and spoon the tartar sauce over the fish.
