Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all crumb topping ingredients together in a bowl except for the butter. Use a food processor or your hands to make an evenly consistent bowl of crumbs.

Place the fish in a cooking dish(es), cover with a good handful of crumbs and sprinkle with drawn butter.

Place two tablespoons of water around the bottom of the fish.

Bake for 20 minutes, until the breadcrumbs become brown. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge and your favorite vegetable.

NOTES:

The topping makes enough for 6 pieces of fish but you can easily cut the recipe in half. I like to make it all because it keeps so well in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. It makes it so quick to prepare dinner when it's already made.
