oven fried rockfish

My wife has been getting on me about frying so we tried some oven "fried" rockfish.  I had previously done it with halibut, but never with rockfish.  Our "new" oven has a "convection bake" feature, so we decided to try it.  It was such a hit that we have switched over from frying. 

1. Take your rockfish filets and cube them into 1-1.5 inch cubes, make sure the fish is dry (pat it with a paper towel before cubing),
2. dip in melted butter, let the excess drip off
3. roll in Italian bread crumbs or crumbs of your choice
4.put it on a cookie sheet on foil (easy clean up)
5. Convection Bake at 450 for about 10 minutes, watch it so it doesn't burn
6. Enjoy,  Also tastes great with a little dipping sauce if you like

Sound delicious!
I'll give it a try using panko crumbs.  I still have rockfish in the freezer and a convection oven that's not getting much use.
Thanks... Dave

That does sound good,especially for us thick in the middle!

speaking of dipping sauces, has anyone tried any in the Dan Hernandez variety?

Try the same with Thai Spicy Peanut coating  .

Hmmm... that dude doesn't strike me as a culinary expert. 

Sacyak's Thai Spicy Peanut sounds like and ideal coating or dip. 

Dan Hernandez variety?

I SEE DEAD FISH

Hmmm... that dude doesn't strike me as a culinary expert. 

But he does look like he takes a hands on approach to quality control
