Directions
Baking Fish

  • Set oven temperature at 400° F and preheat. Using a glass or metal baking pan, line inside
    with foil. Coat foil surface where the filets will be laying as they bake, with cooking oil to
    keep each filet from sticking.
  • Pour milk into a small mixing bowl or shallow dish, so each filet can be immersed in the
    liquid in order to fully coat both sides with milk. Combine cornmeal, paprika, salt, pepper, onion
    flakes, garlic salt, and parmesan cheese with milk in another baking dish.

  • Dip filets into milk. Then place filets in cornmeal mixture and coat thoroughly for
    baking.

    with a fork.

    • Combine the first eight ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
