Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or oil it lightly.

In another bowl, combine Dijon mustard and mayonnaise until smooth.
Pat the perch fillets dry, season with salt and pepper, then coat with the Dijon-mayo mixture.
Dunk each fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere breadcrumbs.
