Baked Dory with Garlicky Breadcrumbs

Today i was feeling a lil particular bout wht to have for dinner. I didnt wanna have wht i had for lunch. Besides i was looking for an excuse to use my oven :). I remember i still have some dory fillets in the freezer and some potatoes and breadcrumbs so i thought why not put all this together and whip a meal outta it.

This is an easy, quick and simple recipe. I had the dory fillet as the main course with mashed potatoes, sauteed button mushrooms, fresh tomatoes and blanched broccoli as the side dishes.

I made 3 sets, one for myself, my mom n bro. Granny isnt much of a western food person. She likes soupy stuff and there's nothin soupy bout this dish.

INGREDIENTS
* dory fillet
* butter (melted)
* breadcrumbs
* salt
* coarse black pepper
* lemon wedge
* finely chopped garlic
* finely chopped parsley

Method:
1) Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. Brush an ovenproof dish or bake ware with olive oil or butter and line the fillet(s)
2) Season the fillet(s) with salt and coarse black pepper
3) Mix the breadcrumbs and finely chopped parsley together and spread it over the seasoned fillet(s)
4) Mix the butter and chopped garlic in a bowl and drizzle it over the breadcrumbs covered fillet(s)
5) Bake for bout 25-30mins.
6) Now its ready to be served with ur choice of side dishes!

As for the fillet, feel free to use any type of white fish you fancy. You can even opt for cod fish, but with that you can thicken the layer of breadcrumbs spread over it or you can prepare a creamy buttery sauce with some fresh thyme.
