FLOUNDER IN PARMESAN HERB CRUST

Category: Fish and Seafood

4 6-oz flounder fillets or any thin, white fish fillet
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 T. extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 T. fresh grated Parmesan
pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 T. fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 t. Herbes de Provence
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced

Preheat oven to 400. Lightly oil a 13x9 inch baking dish. Arrange the fish fillets in the baking dish, folding the thin ends of each fillet under to meet in the center.

Mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan, herbes de Provence, garlic, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir in 2 tsp of olive oil to moisten the crumbs. Spread evenly on the top of the fillets. Drizzle the crumbs with the remaining tsp of olive oil.

Bake until the topping is golden brown and the fish looks opaque when flaked in the center with the tip of a sharp knife. (this will take about 15 minutes). Serve immediately.
