- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dry parsley

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F: Heat a small pan over medium heat with a little olive oil and saute the kale for about 5 minutes until soft.
- Prepare Feta Kale Filling: Transfer the kale to a bowl and combine with the feta cheese, lemon zest, dill, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt & pepper. Mix well to form a creamy filling using a fork to break up the feta clumps.

- Season and Bake: Brush the tops of the fish with dijon mustard. Coat with a mixture of breadcrumbs, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, parsley, salt & pepper. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
