Ingredients

2 skinless, boneless cod fish or other fish fillets, about 1 3/4 pounds
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
Lemon wedges

Steps:

Preheat the broiler to high.
Sprinkle the fish on both sides with salt and pepper.
Arrange the fillets on a baking dish measuring about 8 1/2 by 13 by 2 inches. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or small skillet.
Using a pastry brush, coat the fish liberally with butter.
Sprinkle the fish neatly and evenly all over with bread crumbs. Dribble the remaining butter over all.
Place baking dish under the broiler so the fish is about seven inches from the source of heat. Broil five minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
