Parmesan-crumbed Baked Fish


Carrying on the fishy theme, here's a non-salmon recipe to try.

Serves 4

Here's what you'll need:
1/2 cup fresh multi-grain breadcrumbs (or store bought - works nearly as well)
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped (can use dried herbs here as well)
1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 thick white fish steaks (about 200g each, try blue eye or king fish, or just ask your local fish person for something similar, they can be very helpful!)
Cooking spray (olive oil spray if you've got it)

1. Preheat oven to 200°C
2. Combine breadcrumbs, parsley, parmesan, lemon rind, and salt and pepper in a bowl.
3. Drizzle mixture with olive oil and stir until the breadcrumbs are coated in oil.
4. Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the flesh side of the fish fillets to form an even topping.
5. Place fish, skin side down onto a baking tray and spray the fillets with oil.
6. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until light and golden and the fish is just cooked through.

Serve with steamed greens, baby potatoes and some lemon wedges in winter, and salad in summer.
