- In a shallow dish, combine toasted panko crumbs, salt and Old Bay seasoning. In a separate dish, add flour. In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Coat fish in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, then coat with panko crumbs and make sure it sticks. Arrange fish on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through until cooked.
