Ingredients:

1 teaspoon oil
1 1/2 pounds mild-flavored fish, such as orange roughy, mahi mahi, cod, etc.

1 tablespoon melted butter

Directions:

Preheat oven 400 degrees F.

In a small bowl, beat egg with water. Dip fish in egg, then roll in crumbs. Arrange breaded fish in baking pan. Sprinkle with lemon pepper and parsley; drizzle melted butter over all.
Bake (uncovered) 20 to 40 minutes (depending on thickness) until done (fish should flake easily and be completely opaque). Serve with tartar or fish sauce for dipping. Makes four servings.
