Step 1
Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Mix panko, fresh herbs, lemon zest, garlic, and 0.5 tbsp olive oil in a shallow bowl.
Step 3
Press each fillet into the herb mixture, coating both sides evenly and pressing gently so it adheres.
Step 4
Heat 2.5 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.
Step 5
Slide fish into the skillet. Sear without moving for 4 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
Step 6
Flip fish carefully. Sear 3 more minutes until the second side is golden and fish flakes easily.
Step 7
Transfer fish to a plate. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and serve immediately.
