Easy Baked Fish

Sit down to dinner in under 30 minutes with

 this easy way to make fish in the oven.

I used catfish, but scrod or other mild fish would also work.

 Melt the butter in a shallow plate in the oven.

 Coat both sides of the fish in the butter. 

Sprinkle with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

 Top with the crushed Ritz crackers and a little melted butter.

 Bake for 20 minutes. Longer for thicker fillets.

A nice buttery crunchy topping.

Easy Baked Fish

1 lb fish fillets, about 4

4 T butter, 1/2 stick

1-2 T lemon juice

salt & pepper

1/2 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed

Put 3 T butter in a shallow baking dish and put it in

 the oven as it's preheating to 400. 

Rinse the fish and pat dry with a paper towel.

Remove the dish with the melted butter from the 

oven and lay the fish on and turn to coat both 

sides with butter. Squeeze 1/2 lemon, about 

1-2 T juice over the fish. Sprinkle generously with 

salt & pepper.Top the fish with the crushed Ritz 

crackers and drizzle the top with a the remaining

 melted butter. Bake at 400 for about 20-30 

minutes, until fish is opaque and 

the crumbs are golden.

tip: oven fries or small new potatoes can

bake along with the fish.

Enjoy!
