Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cod filet, or other white fish, cut into +/- 6oz portions
1 c Panko**
1 tsp chopped fresh chives
1 tsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp chopped fresh basil
1 tsp fennel fronds (optional)
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
1 T olive oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400. In a shallow pan mix the herbs, salt, pepper and panko. Rub each piece of fish with olive oil, then pat the crumb mixture onto the fish. Once all the fish is coated, lightly sprinkle with a pinch more salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet to medium-high. Add a little butter and a little olive oil to the pan, then add the fish. Cook on one side for 2-3 minutes, until coating is deep golden brown. Turn fish and immediately tranfer pan into the oven. Cook fish for 5 minutes, or until the fish feels slightly resistant to your touch. Remove from oven and serve. **Panko is a Japanese bread crumb that creates a less heavy coating than traditional breadcrumbs
