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!

you can substitute the mayo...there's something called veganaise, which is a healthier version of mayo...at the healthfood store...it's pretty much tasteless.  Although, I've found that with the parm and garlic combo, you really can't taste it.  you could always just use as little mayo as possible, just enough to get the crust to stick on there.
