420 g plaice, haddock or other white fish fillets (4 fillets)
75g freshly grated parmesan
110g of white bread (slightly stale) cut into cubes (readymade breadcrumbs are also fine and are a useful shortcut)
Handful of fresh curly parsley leaves
50g of melted butter, plus a little extra for brushing
Salt and freshly milled black pepper
To garnish
One lemon cut into quarters
A little fresh curly parsley
You will also need a baking tray 28cm X 40cm and some kitchen foil

3. Now wipe the fish with kitchen paper, then lay the fillets on the foil and season them with salt and black pepper.
4. Next place the cubes of bread and fresh parsley leaves in a food processor and whiz to a fine crumb. Then add the parmesan, melted butter, half a teaspoon of salt and some pepper and whiz again to mix them in.
