  • Tear bread into small chunks and pulse with melted butter, salt, and pepper in a food processor until coarsely ground.  Yield should be around 3.5 cups.
  • Bake on a rimmed baking sheet at 350 until deep golden brown and dry.  Should take around 15 minutes, stir every 5 minutes.
  • Cool crumbs at least 10 minutes, transfer to a large flat-bottomed dish and toss with chopped parsley.
  • Place 1/4 cup flour in another container.
  • Whisk 3rd set in a yet another container.  You should have 3 containers of stuff now.
  • Spray a wire rack with cooking spray and place it in a backing sheet.  Preheat oven to 425.
  • Dry the fish and season with salt and pepper.  One fillet at a time: (a)  dredge in flower & shake off excess, (b) use hands to coat with egg mixture, and (c) coat all sides with bread crumb pressing gently to get a thick layer.
  • Place fish on wire rack and bake at 425 until centers register 120 to 130.  Should take less than 15 minutes.
  • Yield:  4 servings
