Oven Fried Fish

This is a great recipe from my pal Bobbie aka robota...she found in it Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, Third Printing, 1970.

NEED:

1 pound fish fillets or steaks
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup fine dry whole wheat cracker crumbs (crush in zip lock bag with rolling pin until very fine, Wheatsworth Crackers are best)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
Pam Olive Oil Spray (or other oil spray)

cut fillets in serving pieces. dip in milk and roll in crumbs. place in well-greased baking pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper

drizzle melted butter or margarine over fish, and spray over breaded fish with Pam Olive Oil Spray (or other oil spray). bake in an extremely hot oven (500 degrees) 10 to 12 minutes or till fish flakes easily with fork. makes 3 or for servings.

notes:

zed, the original recipe calls for bread crumbs, not whole wheat cracker crumbs. I substituted the cracker crumbs myself. It is much better with the whole wheat cracker crumbs, not saltines, and not bread crumbs. I've done it all three ways and the whole wheat crumbs are fabulous - very nutty flavor and nice and crisp.

ENJOY!
