Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner. Defrost/rinse fish and pat dry. Place fish fillets on baking sheet.
3. In a bowl, mix together oats, bread crumbs, grated Parmesan, chives, parsley and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl measure out mayonnaise before adding lemon rind and juice. Stir.
4. Brush tops of fish with mayonnaise. You may feel the desire to scrimp on the mayo or feel anxious about how the texture will bake. Don’t and don’t be! The mayo melds with the coating of dry materials and thickens, creating a creamy texture. It barely tasted of mayo. Don’t go overboard with the mayo, but don’t underestimate it’s role in the success of this dish. If you’re not a fan of mayonnaise, I’ve read the sour cream and/or plain-flavored yogurt are excellent substitutions.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes when forked. Serve over the pasta of your choice or with vegetables.
