Recipe Notes
Test Kitchen tips
- This breading would complement most types of fish. Try it on salmon if you prefer.
- If you don't have fresh dill, a bit of fresh thyme would be great with fish and lemon.
- Tossing the bread crumbs with a bit of oil helps it crisp up in the short amount of time it takes to cook the fish.
