- Add a little oil to the very hot frypan and add the piece (s) of fish .This will be on the bottom uncrusted side. Sear until it starts to turn opaque (2 minutes), and crispy . Sprinkle with a couple of drops of olive oil onto each fish piece, the uncooked side. (You will not be turning these over they will go straight into the oven to bake).
- Transfer the whole frypan to the oven for approximately 8 minutes.
- The crumbs will be starting to brown and the fish just cooked. It doesn't need to be turned
