  • Melted butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese → lactose-free or aged hard cheese (naturally lower lactose)

Swaps are suggestions, not medical advice. Check labels if lactose is a serious issue for you.

Steps

  1. Combine salt, cayenne, pepper, croûtons, and cheese. Set aside.
  2. Coat fish with melted butter. Dredge both sides in cheese mixture. Let rest 2–3 minutes.
  3. Dip fish in olive oil. Place on a shallow roasting pan and bake in a 400°F oven for 11–12 minutes or until fish is opaque and flakes easily when tested with a fork.
  4. Serve warm.
