Crispy Oven Fish Fry

Ingredients:

4 Tablespoons butter

2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning

2 teaspoons granulated onion (preferred)

2 teaspoons granulatedgarlic (preferred)

Zest of one lemon or lime

2 tablespoons chopped thyme leaves (optional)

2 tablespoons finely chopped chives (optional)

1 ½ - 2 pounds cod, cut from the thickest part of the filets, into 8 rectangular pieces

salt

2 extra large egg whites, beaten to frothy

Directions:

Heat the oven to 400 degrees

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Put the bread crumbs in a shallow dish and pour the butter over them. Add the Old Bay, onion, garlic, zest, thyme, and chives and toss to combine.

Clean and pat dry the fish, season lightly with salt to taste. Coat the fish with the egg whites, then press in the breadcrumb mixture to coat them evenly. Arrange them evenly on a baking rack (the rack is important to the success).

Bake on center rack of the oven until fish is white and flaky and the crumbs are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve with lemon juice to taste.
