Key West Fillets

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
• 2/3 cup crushed saltine crackers
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 pound fish fillets
• 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Melt butter in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan in the oven. Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, combine cracker crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and garlic powder.

Dip fillets in melted butter, then in cracker-crumb mixture. Arrange fish in a single layer in the baking pan, sprinkle with lime juice and bake for about 20 minutes, until fish is tender and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes:

In Key West, the fish fillets would naturally be grouper, but any fish fillets will work - white or pink or dark. Try sole, flounder or whatever you like best.
