When this school year started, I wondered what I can possibly do with all that “free” time. Well, as it turned out, it took up two hours out of the day to drive boys to and from school, more time for home chores and even more for various, other errands; speaking of free time. I’m sure you guys can relate.
That’s why quick dinner recipes are a staple in our home. Fish is a great choice for a quick and healthy dinner. It takes very little to prepare it and cooks in a matter of minutes. Best thing about this recipe, is that it stays crispy for hours and reheats well. Have I mentioned that it’s deeelicious?

In my recipe I added a tablespoon of garlic powder, a tablespoon of paprika, 3/4 tablespoon of cayenne pepper as well as a tablespoon of seasoning salt. As Emeril would say I kicked it up a notch and it is terrific. A few drops of lemon at the table and your off to the races.
That sounds amazing, Dave! I love when people add their own twist to recipes to suit your taste. Thanks for commenting!
I also added dill, accidentally dumped in a buttload of dill to the panko crumb mix but it turned out great with that little extra flavor. Fish was crispy and quick.
Haha, I'm glad it worked out well in the end with the "buttload of dill". Thank you for your feedback, Jamie!
