I came across lemon pepper Panko crumbs in the store, thinking, what can I do with this? Voila, Lemon Pepper Panko Crusted Fish. A recipe was born!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This lemon pepper Panko crusted fish is an easy summer dinner. Double crusting the fish filets in a mixture of lemon pepper bread crumbs, potato flakes, and Parmesan cheese gives them a nice and crunchy crust. Inside, the fish is tender and flaky. Ready in no time, it's a light and impressive meal.
