Wasabi Crusted Fish Fillets

Ingredients

• 1 lb (0.5 kg) cod or halibut fillets
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 1/2 tsp wasabi paste
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
• 1/2 tsp paprika

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Pat fillets dry with paper towels.
3. Combine mayonnaise, wasabi paste and salt; spread on both sides of fillets.
4. Combine panko and paprika in a pie plate.
5. Working with one piece at a time, dip fillets into panko mixture, pressing lightly so that panko mixture adheres; turn to coat both sides.
6. Place fillets in a single layer on a greased rimmed baking sheet.
7. Bake, uncovered, for 10 - 12 minutes per inch of thickness or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
