Herb-Baked Fish with Crispy Crumb

Recipe Description

The special twist in my Herb-Baked Fish with Crispy Crumb is the fresh parsley and crushed corn flakes in the crumb. The parsley adds a strong herby flavor and corn flakes make it so much crispier than a normal bread crumb, meaning that it holds its crunch even when swimming in the delicious buttery sauce.

This recipe is super easy and an added bonus is that you can use any fish from your freezer. You don’t even need to fully defrost it! It can be popped into the oven partially thawed. Simple and delicious, a great fish recipe to have handy!

To make the Herb-Baked Fish with Crispy Crumb, you will need the following ingredients:
