Cracker Coated Fish Fillets Food

CRACKER CRUMB COATING FOR FISH

Steps:

• Place the crackers, parmesan, and spices in a food processor and process for about 10 seconds until mixture is fine crumbs. Then spread the mixture out on a plate.
• For each of your fish fillets, first dip both sides in the metled butter, then press both sides of the fillet into the crumb mixture. Then place into a greased baking dish. Repeat for the remaining fish fillets.
• Bake the breaded fish fillets in a 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

CRACKER AND PARMESAN CRUSTED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Using a food processor, grind the oyster crackers, Ritz crackers, parmigiano-reggiano, parsley, chives, thyme, Old Bay seasoning and garlic powder, if using. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Place the flour in another shallow bowl. In a third shallow bowl, beat the eggs and cream.
• Fill a large skillet with enough EVOO to reach a depth of 1/4 inch and heat over medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 200°. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Coat the fish with the flour, shaking off any excess; coat with the egg mixture, then with the cracker crumbs. Working with 2 fillets at a time, fry the fish in the skillet, turning once, until deep golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer each batch to the oven to keep warm.

CRACKER CRUSTED COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a bowl combine crushed crackers, Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning. Stir in melted butter.
• Arrange fish in a single layer in a baking dish. Sprinkle cracker mixture even over the fish fillets. Gently press down into the fish.
• Bake for 15-20 minute, until the fish is flaky and cooked through.

BAKED COD WITH RITZ CRACKER TOPPING

Steps:

• Prepare oven, baking pan, fish: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a small baking pan or casserole pan with butter or a little oil. Rinse off the fish fillets with cold water, pat dry. Use long nose pliers to remove any pin bones from the fillets.
• Place fillets in bottom of dish: If you want, cut the fillets into large serving pieces. Place the fillets at the bottom of the pan, sprinkle with salt.
• Top fish with Ritz Cracker butter mixture: Melt the butter. Crush the Ritz crackers and place in a bowl; they should look like coarse breadcrumbs. Mix the melted butter with the breadcrumbs. Pack the crumb mixture over the top and sides of the fish fillets.
• Bake: Place in the 350°F oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily. (Thin fillets may take less time, very thick fillets may take longer.) Serve: Serve the fish with lemon and parsley. Links: Baked Fish with Pine Nut, Parmesan and Basil Crust - from Kayln's Kitchen

CRACKER CRUMB BLUE FISH FILETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In a saute pan over medium heat, heat the bacon fat. Add onions and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until caramelized. Add celery and cook for 5 minutes more. Add sherry, stir and reduce by half. Add the dill, celery salt and pepper, and combine well. Add crackers and stir to combine. Remove mixture from the heat and cool.
• Brush skin of fish with olive oil. Season small bluefish filets with salt and pepper. Place 1/4 cup of the stuffing into center of each filet. Fold/roll tail over to encircle stuffing. Hold stuffed filets closed with tooth pick in center.
• Place filets in buttered baking dish, skin side down. Drizzle any remaining oil over top. Roast in oven for 16 minutes or until center is cooked to 145 degrees.

AWESOME RITZ FISH

Steps:

• Wash fish filets and pat dry.
• Lay filets in a 9x13" baking dish. Set aside.
• Put Ritz crackers in a gallon size baggie and crush the crackers to a fine crumble.
• Add butter to the Ritz and mix well.
• Spread the Ritz mix over the top of all the filets.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the thickness of your fish).
• Test doneness by sticking a fork in the fish and twisting. The fish should be flakey and the Ritz crackers should be nicely browned.
• Serve immediately.

NOT MY MOM'S FRIED FISH

Steps:

• Place beaten eggs and saltine cracker crumbs in separate shallow bowls or pie tins.
• Dip fillets into eggs, then coat with crumbs; let stand for 5 minutes.
• In a heavy, deep skillet, or electric frying pan, heat oil (about 3/4 to 1 inch of oil) to 375°. Fry fillets, a few at a time, for 2 minutes on each side or until fish is golden brown and flakes easily (I found that when the fish is golden brown it's DONE).
• Drain on a rack over paper towels. If you're making lots of fish place the rack in a 225° oven while you're cooking the remaining batches.
