**Full Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. **Prepare the Baking Sheet**: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
3. **Mix the Dry Ingredients**: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
4. **Prepare the Egg Mixture**: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard until smooth.
5. **Pat the Fish Dry**: Gently pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels.
6. **Season the Fish**: Lightly season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and pepper.
7. **Dip in Egg Mixture**: Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
8. **Coat with Breadcrumb Mixture**: Transfer the egg-coated fillet to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all fillets.
9. **Place on Baking Sheet**: Arrange the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
10. **Drizzle with Olive Oil**: Drizzle the tops of the fillets with olive oil.
11. **Bake the Fish**: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
12. **Broil for Extra Crispiness (Optional)**: For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
13. **Remove from Oven**: Let the fish rest for a couple of minutes after baking.
14. **Garnish**: Chop fresh parsley for garnish.
15. **Serve**: Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy with your favorite sides.
16. **Enjoy**: Relish the delightful crunch of the Parmesan crust with tender, flaky fish.
