EXTREMELY simple and less messy than setting up a breading station. Works well with crappie 10"+ as well as 12"+ perch (the fillet is big enough that it doesnt overcook while the crust browns).
Crust: melted butter/panko/lemon juice/pepper
Apply small amount of melted butter to fillet, cover fillet in crust (just top not bottom), baked @350 for 5-7min, turn on broiler for a few til crust has good color. BAM!
