How to Make Rockfish A La Lemon

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry lemons.
  3. Thinly slice one lemon; set aside.
  4. Zest 1 tablespoon of lemon rind from the second lemon using a microplane or fine grater.
  5. Juice the remaining lemon; you should have about 2 tablespoons of juice.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  7. Arrange the lemon slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  8. In a shallow dish, pour the lemon juice.
  9. Dip each piece of fish into the lemon juice, ensuring it's coated.
  10. Place the fish pieces on top of the lemon slices in the baking dish.
  11. Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the fish.
  12. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  13. Garnish with additional lemon slices and spoon some of the cooking juices over the fish.
  14. Serve immediately.
