Crispy Fish Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the upper part. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, capers, pickles, herbs and Worcestershire sauce. Using a Microplane, finely grate the garlic into the bowl, then grate in the zest of the lemon. (Hold onto the lemon; you'll use the juice later.) Stir to combine and season the tartar sauce to taste with salt and lots of pepper.
• In a small bowl, stir together the panko and olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Pat the fish dry on all sides and season lightly all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to a lightly greased or foil-lined sheet pan. Coat the top with a thin layer of the tartar sauce (a scant tablespoon per fillet). Sprinkle the panko evenly on top (about 2 tablespoons per fillet), pressing gently to adhere.
• Bake the fish on the top rack until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes for fillets between ½- and ¾-inch-thick (though you should check earlier, if using a thinner fish). An instant-read thermometer should read somewhere between 125 and 130 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the fish.
• Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon juice from the lemon to the tartar sauce and cut the remaining lemon into 4 wedges for serving.
• When the fish is nearly cooked through, switch the oven to broil. Broil the fish on the top rack until the bread crumbs are golden and the fish flakes easily and registers 140 degrees in the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes. Eat with a spoonful of tartar sauce, more black pepper and a squeeze of lemon. (Any extra tartar sauce will keep for up to a week in the fridge.)

Steps:

• Mix milk, vinegar and mustard and let set for 15 minutes. This will make a mustardy, buttermilky dressing to coat the fish.
• In a separate bowl mix cornmeal or panko with all the seasonings.
• Dip fish fillets in the milk mixture and then in the dry mixture.
• Spray broiling pan with cooking spray or brush with a little olive oil.
• Place fillets on prepared pan and place pan under broiler 4 inches from heat.
• Broil for 4 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. (Thicker filets will take longer. This timing is for tilapia)
• Serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss panko with oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toast in oven, stirring once, until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool slightly.
• Pat fish dry; season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and 2 teaspoons water; toss with fish to coat completely. Coat fish with panko, patting to adhere. Place on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and bake until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise and vinegar. Toss with coleslaw and apple; season to taste. Fill tortillas with fish, coleslaw mixture, and herbs; serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread rice in 8-inch square baking dish. Pour boiling water over rice. Cover with plastic wrap. Let stand 5 min. Uncover.
• Arrange broccoli over rice. Mix soup and water; pour over broccoli. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Top with fish; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake 30 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork.
