Tuesday: Cornflake-Crusted Fish with Herb Butter
When offering breaded fish to the kids, your chances of getting unanimous approval at the table are pretty good. This recipe uses not only rockfish or turbot fillets, but also leftover cereal for the breadcrumbs. After cooking the fish, take advantage of the fact that the skillet is still warm to make herb butter to coat the fish. Bring the finishing touch to the plates with a small green salad or a vegetable of your choice.
