Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Ritz cracker crumbs (15 crackers)
1/3 cup panko (Japanese bread flakes

3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Lemon wedges, for servinc

STEP 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pour 2 tbsp of olive oil in 9" x 9" ceramic baking dish (it should be just big enough to hold fish) and tilt dish to coat bottom with oil.
STEP 2: Place fish fillets in dish and turn to coat both sides with oil. Sprinkle fish with 1 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper, and bake for 10 minutes,
STEP 3: While fish is cooking, make Crumb Mixture.
In small bowl, combine cracker crumbs, panko, parsley, garlic, lemon zest and 1 tsp of salt. Add melted butter and stir until evenly moistened, Set aside.
STEP 4: Remove fish from oven and pour wine and lemon juice directly on fillets. Pat crumb mixture evenly onto fillets, pressing gently to help it adhere. (Don't worry if some crumbs get into the sauce!)
STEP 5: Return pan to oven for 12 minutes, until fillets are just cooked through in center, depending on thickness of fish. Sprinkle with salt, and serve hot with pan juices and lemon wedges.
