Baked Trout with Romano Cheese

• 1  cup  bread crumbs
• 1  tablespoon  garlic powder
• 1/2  cup  grated Romano
• 1/2  cup  chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 4 (8-ounce) trout fillets
• 1/3  cup  fresh lemon juice
• 1/4  cup  olive oil

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder, cheese, and parsley in a medium non-reactive bowl. Rub each fillet with lemon juice, and then dredge each fillet in the crumb mixture to evenly coat. Place fillets on a baking pan lined with waxed or parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the fillets. Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until fish fillets are cooked through.
