Number of Servings: 7

Ingredients

    3-4 skinless white fish fillets (catfish, tilapia, flounder or trout (1 to 1 1/2 inches thick)
    2 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
    Salt and ground black pepper
    1 cup minced fresh herbs (e.g., parsley leaves, dill, rosemary, thyme, oregano)
    1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour or ½ cup ea. fine and course corn meal
    2 large eggs
    1 teaspoons toasted sesame oil (optional) or olive oil
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1/2 teaspoon ea. chili powder and paprika or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    Lemon wedges

Directions

1. Mix panko and chopped fresh herbs in a container and transfer to a pie plate or other large rimmed platter (you should have about 3 1/2 cups).
2. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees.
3. Place flour in second pie plate. In third pie plate, whisk eggs, mustard, paprika, chili powder or cayenne pepper (if using), and oil until combined.
4. Spray wire rack with nonstick cooking spray and place in rimmed baking sheet. Dry fish thoroughly with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge 1 fillet in flour; shake off excess.
