Cooking fish at home doesn’t have to be a huge ordeal reserved for special occasions. With a few tricks up your sleeve, it can be a foolproof and fast way to make a weeknight meal. Take this recipe for 15-minute herb-crumbed fish from Kim Kushner’s The Modern Table: it looks and tastes totally fancy, but comes together with very little effort.
“There’s so much versatility with this easy recipe,” she writes. “Grab any herbs in your refrigerator (even if they’re wilted), add a handful of breadcrumbs or crackers (or potato chips!) and blitz them together for a delicious and golden herb-crumb fish topping. It’s that simple.”
And FYI, you can stash a bag of the crumbs in the freezer for quick, last-minute meals.
