Parmesan Crusted Halibut

1/2 cup flour
2 large eggs
2 T. water
2 cups Panko breadcrumbs (Fresh made breadcrumbs are nice too)
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Zest of 1 lemon, chopped
4 6-oz halibut fillets, skin removed
3 T. olive oil

 

Preheat oven to 450°F. Place flour in one bowl, beat eggs and water place in 2nd bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan and lemon zest in 3rd bowl. Lightly salt and pepper the halibut fillets. Dredge the fillets in flour, next dip in egg and then coat with bread crumb mixture. Heat olive oil in ovenproof pan. Sauté the fillets on medium-high until golden-brown crust forms. Turn fillets over and place pan in preheated oven. Roast until centers are pearly white and opaque.
