Atkins Fish Recipes

Ingredients:

4 filet (08 oz) scrod, center-cut
1/4 cup lemon juice, fresh-squeezed
salt and pepper
4 slice Atkins bakery sliced white bread
3 clove (3 g) garlic
1 tsp dried oregano
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup basil leaves
2 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions:

Crispy homemade breadcrumbs top tender fish in this foolproof entree. Any
mild-flavored fish works well with the garlic, oregano and basil combo.
Adjust roasting time based on the thickness of the filets.

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Put filets on rimmed cookie sheet. Pour juice over
filets and season with salt and pepper.

2. In food processor, process bread, garlic and oregano until fine crumbs
form (you can also make crumbs with a box grater; in which case, don't tear
the bread). With machine running, pour in 2 tsp of olive oil; process to
combine.

3. Evenly divide crumb mixture and pat over filets. Roast 12 minutes, until
just cooked through.

4. While fish is cooking make the sauce: In a blender, puree basil leaves
with remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper. Press sauce
through fine-meshed sieve. Whisk in mustard and spoon sauce around fish.
For a decorative presentation, put basil sauce in plastic bag. Snip off a
small corner and squeeze a swirl of sauce on each plate.
