Oven Baked Fish

My Mom has got to be the most amazing 'whatever's-in-the-fridge' cooks. She was born in the early years of WWII on a farm, and was always taught not to waste anything. On holidays, my parents always had an icecream pail full of pretels, nacho chips, cheezies, nuts & bolts, etc. in the front seat of the car for us kids to munch on. The crumbs from this icecream pail inspired this dish.

a couple fillets of a mild fish (cod, basa, etc.)
nacho chip, hard cheezies, pretzel, etc. crumbs
**if you don't have any, buy the products and grind in a blender to the consistancy of breadcrumbs**
flour
milk

Pre-heat oven to 350F. Wash fillets and pat dry. Place nacho,etc. crumbs into blender, grind to the consistancy of breadcrumbs. Place crumbs onto flat plate.
Dredge fillets in flour, shake off excess, dip in milk, then, cover in crumbs, pressing crumbs onto fillets.

Spray a baking sheet with non-stick baking spray, place fillets on sheet, place in oven. Bake 12 - 15 mins. or until fish is flakey.

Who says great food has to come from conventional places???

Enjoy,
Myrna
