How Do You Make Oven-Fried Fish Fillets?
This is a recipe for smaller fish fillets such as tilapia, pan fish like bluegill and crappie, or catfish. Larger fish fillets (steaks) such as salmon and tuna require a different cook time. Wash and pat dry the fish fillets with a paper towel. Dip each piece in the half & half and then in the seasoned bread crumbs. Let the fish dry on a rack for a 1/2 hour. The coating becomes firmer and less likely to crumble when allowed to dry and set. Preheat the oven to 350. Melt the butter. Set the butter on top of the oven to keep it warm and melted. Place the fish on a broad baking dish or on a cookie sheet with raised edges. If a cookie sheet is used, line the sheet with foil and grease it. Bake the fish until firm and golden, basting twice during the bake with melted butter.
