Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 egg
1 Tbsp water
3/4 tsp tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 lb fish fillets (flounder, halibut, etc.)
1 c corn flake crumbs
2 Tbsp melted butter

Steps:

1. Combine egg, water, Tabasco sauce and salt, beat until well blended. Dip fish fillets in egg mixture.
2. Coat generously with corn flake crumbs.
3. Place on foil-lined baking sheet; drizzle with melted butter. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

Tips:

Choose a firm fish: This guarantees a flaky texture and helps the fish stand up to the crust. Salmon, cod, and tilapia are all excellent options.
Make sure the fish is fresh: Avoid fillets that smell fishy or have a slimy texture.
Season the fish simply: A little salt and pepper is all you need to let the natural flavor of the fish shine through.
Use a light touch when coating the fish in the breadcrumb mixture: You don't want to weigh the fish down or make the crust too thick.
Bake the fish until it is cooked through: The fish should be opaque in the center and flake easily with a fork.
Serve the fish immediately: The crust is best when it is fresh out of the oven.
Experiment with different flavors: You can add herbs, spices, or citrus zest to the breadcrumb mixture for a more flavorful crust.
Pair the fish with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Oven-crusty fish is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. It's perfect for a busy family or anyone who wants a quick and healthy dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your oven-crusty fish is perfect every time.
