Preparing the best fish is no easy feat, but is worth the extra effort for the delicious results. Preparing the best fish only requires an oven and a basic set of household spices at your disposal. With a few hours of cooking time, you and your family can enjoy the best cooked fish you have had in a while.
Step 1
Place your fish fillets in the fridge the night before so they have time to thaw out completely. They can also be unthawed in the microwave if you are pressed for time but this will hurt the results.
Step 2
Melt a ¼-cup butter and mix in 1 tbsp. lemon juice.
Step 3
Run fresh bread back and forth over a cheese grater until you have 2 cups of bread crumbs. Place the bread crumbs in a bowl or plate wide enough for one of your fish fillets to fit comfortably.
Step 4
Mix 1 tbsp. of lemon pepper seasoning as well as 1 tbsp. of garlic powder and 2 tsp. of onion powder into your breadcrumbs. Stir the breadcrumb mixture using a fork until the spices are well blended in.
Step 5
Preheat your broilers and position your fish fillets on a cookie sheet.
Cooking the Fish
Step 1
Baste the fish with a part of the lemon and butter mixture and place them in the broiler section of the oven.
Step 2
Turn the fillets over as they begin to look light brown on top and baste the top of the fish with the lemon butter mixture. After the second side begins to look light brown, remove from the oven and set aside on the counter.
Step 3
Add a single egg to the lemon and butter mixture and blend it in using a whisk.
Step 4
Dip each of the fillets in the lemon butter mixture and coat them in the breadcrumb mixture. Place each of the fillets back on the cookie sheet and put back into the broiler.
Step 5
Broil the fish for a minute or two on each side and remove from the oven. Serve while hot.
