Crispy Oven Baked Fish
From the Today Show I didn't have flounder and used cod but loved the crust on this and the one sided idea --would be great on chicken as well.
- 1 egg
- Four 4- to 6-ounce flounder fillets
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat egg with 2 tablespoons of water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Fold flounder to put the thin side of the fish under the thicker side.
4. Dredge only one side of fish in flour, then in egg mixture, then breadcrumbs. This process should only be done to this one side.
5. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat.
6. Place flounder, breadcrumb side down, into pan immediately.
7. Let sizzle for 1 minute and place in oven.
8. Leave in oven until fish cooks through and become opaque on top, about 8-12 minutes.
9. Remove from oven and flip fish over.
10. Let fish sit in pan for 30 seconds for carry over cooking.
