In a shallow dish or pie pan, combine 1/2 cup shredded parmesan or Romano cheese with 1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs and 1/2 teaspoon basil, dill, rosemary or thyme. For a spicy rub, add 1-2 teaspoons cayenne pepper.)
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1-2 Tablespoons oil to hot skillet. (Adding the oil to a cold skillet will be more likely to make the fish stick to the pan. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the fish.)
Lightly salt and pepper 4 fish fillets (such as catfish, talapia, or sole) on one side to taste. Place one fillet in the breadcrumb mixture and pat to cover one side. Turn over and cover the other side. Brush off excess crumbs. Do the same for each fillet.
Place the fillets in the skillet over medium heat and cook 3-4 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, until fish begins to flake. (Thicker fillets will need more time.)
Serve with a lemon wedge and a side of rice.
Yield: 4 servings
