Sandra Mills calls this a very easy recipe, and it is: butter a glass pie plate, brush a thick fillet of scrod or other white fish with mayonnaise, sprinkle it with seasoned bread crumbs and microwave it for 5 minutes.
The mayonnaise keeps the fish moist and holds the crumbs on.
Ingredients
- Butter, for the plate
- Scrod or any thick fish fillet
- Mayonnaise
- Seasoned bread crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the plate. Butter a glass pie plate.
- Coat. Brush the fish with mayonnaise and lay it in the pie plate. Sprinkle with seasoned bread crumbs.
- Microwave. Microwave on High for 5 minutes.
Tips
- Fish is done at 145°F, when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Microwave power varies; thicker fillets may need another minute or two.
- Scrod is young cod or haddock, a New England favorite.
