2 slices bread, toasted until crisp
1 tbsp. flour
4 Ritz, Keebler Club or Saltine Crackers
1/4 tsp. paprika
1 1/2 tsp. fresh dill
1/4 tsp. each onion powder and garlic powder
1 lemon, halved
1/4 tsp. crushed peppercorns or black pepper
paprika, for sprinkling
1 lb. white fish, such as flounder, haddock or cod fillets (about 1/2-inch thick)
In a blender or food processor, process first 6 ingredients to make crumbs. Line a shallow baking sheet with foil. Place fish on foil; brush with melted butter and sprinkle generously with the seasoned crumb mixture. Slice the lemon in halves; save half to make slices or wedges for serving. Squeeze the other half of the lemon over the fish. Crush the peppercorns with the side of a heavy knife and sprinkle over fish.
Bake in preheated 350°F oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15-20 minutes depending upon thickness of fillets.
Garnish with lemon wedges or slices (and a sprig of parsley or dill, if desired). I like to add extra color to fish by sprinkling a little paprika over the top, too.
