Ingredients

• 1-1.5 lbs. haddock patted dry (or other mild-tasting white fish, such as flounder, pollock, tilapia, or cod)
• 1 cup plain breadcrumbs see note
• 6 tablespoons salted butter melted (see notes)
• kosher salt and black pepper
• lemon wedges and fresh parsley for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put a spoonful of the melted butter in a  baking sheet or dish and spread to coat the bottom.
3. Combine the bread crumbs (1 cup) with the rest of the 6 tablespoons of melted butter.
4. Salt and pepper both sides of the fish liberally (I used about 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper), and lay in the buttered baking dish.
5. Spread bread crumbs – all of them – evenly over the fish

7. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a garnish of fresh parsley, if desired.
