4 pieces scrod fillet (6-8 ounces each)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups white wine
1/2 cup butter, melted, divided
1 cup dried bread crumbs
Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a baking pan large enough to hold the scrod in a single layer. Place the scrod in the prepared baking pan, and add the salt, pepper, lemon juice, and wine. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the melted butter over the fish. Bake at 350° for approximately 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes but is still moist. Remove the pan from the oven and preheat the broiler. Scatter the bread crumbs over the fish, and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup butter. Brown under the broiler for 2-5 minutes only, until lightly browned, and serve. Serves 4.


This recipe is wonderfully simple and delicious with other kinds of fish, too. Try orange roughy or tilapia or even catfish fillets.
