1. Put the breadcrumbs into a bowl and add the grated Parmesan and the tapenade. I also added a glug of olive oil to make the mixture easier to handle. Mix together well and season with freshly ground black pepper.
2. Lightly brush or spray a baking tray with olive oil, lay the fillets on the tray and spread the top of each one each with the tapenade mixture.
