Preparation

Step 1

Preheat broiler. Lightly spray large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Place flour in shallow dish. Beat egg and milk in small bowl until well combined; place in a second shallow dish. Combine bread crumbs, thyme, garlic salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper; place in third shallow dish.


Place fillets, one at a time, in flour; turn fillets to coat lightly with flour. Dip fillets into egg mixture, letting excess drip back into dish. Place fillets, one at a time, in bread crumb mixture; turn to coat well. Transfer fillets to prepared baking sheet.


Drizzle half of melted butter evenly over fillets. Broil fillets 4 to 5 inches from heat for 3 minutes. Turn fillets; drizzle with remaining butter. Broil until fillets begin to flake when tested with fork, about 3 minutes.


For tartar sauce, place mayonnaise, pickle relish, lemon juice and horseradish in small bowl. Stir until well mixed. Serve fillets with tartar sauce.
