Oven-Fried Fish Fillets

Easy clean-up, and no fried fish smell in the kitchen!


2 pounds cod, haddock, or pollack fillets
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup finely-crushed corn flakes

Oven: 400 degrees

Rinse fish quickly under cold running water and drain on paper towels. Cut into six portions, slicing tail portion slight larger. Fold end of tail under for even cooking.

Combine lemon juice, flour, salt and margarine in a shallow dish or 8-inch pie pan, stirring until smooth. Put cornflakes in another dish or pie pan.

Using a fork, dip fish into flour mixture, then coat with cornflakes. Arrange fish in a single layer in a foil-lined baking pan. Bake about 20 minutes, or until fish is well-browned and flakes easily with a fork. Serves six.
