BAKED FLOUNDER WITH SEASONED BREADCRUMBS

SERVES 4

This is quick, easy and very good. I especially like it with flounder, but any firm white-fleshed fish may be used.

INGREDIENTS

4 flounder fillets, 6 to 8 ounces each

Salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoons butter

2 cups fresh breadcrumbs

2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill

2 tablespoons melted butter

4 lemon wedges for garnish

Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly butter a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in one layer. Pat the fish dry on both sides with paper towels and place in the dish, skin-side down. Season with salt and pepper.

Melt the 3 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and sauté until lightly browned, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté another minute. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley and dill. Top the fish with the breadcrumbs, pressing down lightly to help them adhere. Drizzle with the melted butter. Bake until the fish is done, about 8 minutes depending on the thickness. If desired, place under a broiler to further brown the breadcrumb topping. Serve immediately with the lemon wedges for garnish.
