Crispy Fish with Lemon Dill Sauce

Crispy oven baked cod fillets with a lemon dill sauce for dipping.

It might be the beginning of November, but I am already getting stressed out over all the holiday baking and cooking that needs to happen.  I was planning out my schedule for the next 6 weeks, and things are going to get crazy around here!  I have tons of great giveaways lined up for you guys (I hope you guys want to win free stuff).  Plus lots of cookies, and holiday baked goods!  Here is a question for you.  Would you like to see ideas of Thanksgiving side dishes?  In my head, people have the same thing each year, and aren’t interested in seeing ideas, or are your menus set?

Today I have a quick and easy dinner idea that is perfect for any night of the week.  I grew up in the Mid-West where Friday fish fry’s are a staple.  This is a healthy version you can make at home.  Instead of store bought tarter sauce this is served with a fresh lemon dill sauce.  The sauce is super easy to put together, and chances are you have everything you need on hand already.  Panko breadcrumbs are used as the breading for the fish, and they bake up to have the perfect crisp.  Great alternative to deep fried fish.

I stocked up on Cod fillets when my store had them on sale.  But similar to these Fish Tacos, you can use just about any mild white fish; Haddock, Tilapia, or Mahi Mahi.  I like to buy a couple pounds of fresh fish when it is on sale, and then freeze some of it for later.  Fish has never been my favorite, but I am trying to incorporate more of it in our diet.  Crispy fish like this is definitely going to make a regular appearance on our dinner table.
