How to Make Festive Fish

  1. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Dip each fish fillet in the dressing, ensuring it's fully coated.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, place the crushed crackers. Press each dressed fillet into the cracker crumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Place the crumb-coated fillets on a well-greased baking sheet.
  5. Drizzle melted butter evenly over the fish fillets.
  6. Sprinkle generously with paprika.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
