Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2 large shallots, minced
2 cups fresh white breadcrumbs

3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
4 6- to 8-ounce scrod or true cod fillets (1 1/2 inches thick), all bones removed

  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add minced shallots and cook 1 minute. Add breadcrumbs and stir until butter is absorbed.
