Ritz-Y Baked Fish

Recipe Source: Julia Turshen

Ingredients:

• 1 cup broken/lightly crushed Ritz crackers
• 1 medium clove garlic, minced
• 1 small handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
• Four 6-ounce skinned, flaky, white-fleshed fish fillets, such as cod and flounder

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine the cracker pieces, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, butter, salt and paprika in a food processor; pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand. (If you don’t have a food processor, place the crackers in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Melt the butter and mix everything together in a bowl).
3. Place the fish fillets on the baking sheet. Wet your hands, then pat equal portions of the cracker mixture into an even layer on top of each piece of fish (wetting your hands makes the spreading easier).
4. Bake (middle rack) until the cracker mixture is light golden brown and the fish barely flakes when you nudge it with a fork, about 15 minutes. Serve right away
