Optional Crust Preparation
If you opted for a crust, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped herbs. Press this mixture onto the top of each fish fillet before placing it in the oven.

Finish Cooking with Crust

Prepare the Sauces
While the fish is cooking, prepare your sauces. For the lemon butter sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan, then stir in lemon juice and zest. For the garlic herb sauce, combine minced garlic with olive oil, herbs, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
