Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Melt butter and mix it with olive oil in a separate bowl.

Brush the fish fillets with mustard and drizzle the butter mixture over them.

Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each fish fillet until well coated.

Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

In the last 5 minutes of baking, squeeze lemon juice over the fish for added flavor.

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
