There’s so much versatility with this easy recipe. Grab any herbs in your refrigerator (even if they’re wilted), add a handful of breadcrumbs or crackers (or potato chips!), and blitz them together for a delicious and golden herb-crumb fish topping. It’s that simple.
- 6 (8-oz) fillets of fish of your choice
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Handful of fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, basil, or cilantro, leaves only
- Juice of ½ lemon (about 1½ Tbsp)
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs or a handful of crackers (such as Ritz or saltines)
- 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
- In a blender or food processor, combine herbs, lemon juice, and mustard and blitz until chopped finely. Stir in breadcrumbs (or crackers). Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the fish fillets. Bake, uncovered, for 12 minutes, until cooked through.
- Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and serve immediately.
