Fish Bake

Derf's Note:

Have tried this with both salmon, cod and halibut, it was equally good with all. I often use wheat germ instead of breadcrumbs.

I seasoned this fish with just the bread crumbs and Old Bay. But following the rest of the instructions created a terrific piece of "fried" fish. What a great recipe that can be prepared quickly. Thanks for posting.

My DH and I loved this recipe. I used pollock fillets and followed your directions exactly. The fillets were perfectly seasoned and nicely browned on BOTH sides. They were also flaky and tender. I know I will be using this method a lot. Thanks, Derf for another winner.

Simple, but so good, basic baked fish recipe. I love the unique technique (!) of heating the oil in the oven, then putting in the fish and flipping. It really adds a fried fish taste and texture without the mess and calories of the real thing.
