Panko Crusted Rockfish Fillets Recipes

PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
• Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

PECAN-CRUSTED ROCKFISH WITH OLD BAY®

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Spray with cooking spray.
• Pour melted butter over rockfish. Combine pecans, panko, and seafood seasoning in a bowl. Evenly distribute mixture over the fillets, pressing gently into the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish easily flakes with a fork, about 20 minutes. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, making sure not to burn the crust. Serve immediately.

BAKED PANKO-CRUSTED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Heat the oven to 425 F.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and then spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cut the fish fillets into 6-ounce portions.
• Sprinkle both sides of the fish pieces with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• In a wide bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and parsley.
• Put the flour in another wide, shallow bowl.
• In a third bowl, whisk the eggs or egg substitute with the Cajun seasoning and mayonnaise.
• Dip the fish fillets in the plain flour, coating each piece thoroughly.
• Dip the flour-coated fillets in the egg mixture and then coat them with the panko crumb mixture, pressing lightly to help the crumbs adhere to the fish. Repeat with the remaining fish.
• Arrange the crumb-coated fish on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for about 16 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The time in the oven depends on thickness, so adjust for very thin or very thick fish fillets. Serve the baked fish fillets with the lemon wedges and tartar sauce or rémoulade sauce.
