Notes
- Use panko bread crumbs for a lower calorie option
- Use gluten free crackers or panko breadcrumbs if needed.
- Add ½ teaspoon of garlic powder to breadcrumbs.
- You know when the fish is done when you insert a fork and it flakes easily.
- Squeeze a little more lemon juice over top of cooked fish if desired.
- This recipe is best served immediately from the oven when the topping is most crispy. If necessary, reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes or until heated
