Cool. I'll still post some fish recipes, because we eat a lot of it, and I've found some REALLY GOOD ones lately. I found this chicken one the other day, which works well with a firmer fish too...I guess it's kind of Italian-y, but still really good.
BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH PARMESAN-GARLIC CRUST
1 cup bread crumbs 1/2 cup grated Parm cheese 3 garlic cloves 2 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) 1/2 tsp salt pepper 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 - 7 oz each), trimmed OR 4 small/2 large salmon (or other med - firm fish) 1/4 cup minced fresh basil or 1 - 2 tsp dried basil 1/4 cup mayonaise lemon wedges for serving
Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine bread crumbs, Parm, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper to taste in bowl
Pat chicken/fish dry with paper towels and transfer to 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Combine basil and mayo in small bowl and spread mixture evenly over chicken. Sprinkle breat-crumb mixture over mayo, pressing lightly to adhere.
Bake until crumbs are golden brown and instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of chicken register 160 degrees (or cut a piece and make sure there's no pink), 18 - 22 minutes. For fish, cook according to the type of fish, on average 10 minutes per inch of thickness (I think, anyway! I just normally wait until it flakes with a fork). Serve with lemon wedges.
Enjoy!
