Roasted Fish With Lemon, Sesame and Herb Breadcrumbs Recipe image

Trout is an ideal weeknight dinner because its thin fillets cook in minutes All it really needs is some butter and lemon, but an herb-panko mixture adds freshness and crunch The breadcrumb mixture is inspired by za'atar, a spice blend that includes sesame seeds, dried herbs and tart-citrusy sumac

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons lemon zest, lemon cut into wedges for serving
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup panko bread crumbs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 (4 to 6-ounce) trout fillets or 2 whole butterflied trout

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the sesame seeds, thyme, oregano, lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Rub the mixture between your fingers until the herbs are bruised and fragrant. Stir in the bread crumbs and butter until combined.
  • Season the trout with salt and pepper and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Spoon the bread crumbs evenly over the fish and bake until the fish is opaque and the bread crumbs are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.
