GRAHAM-CRACKER CRUSTED COD

Ingredients

1 lb tilapia, cod, haddock or other medium-firm fish fillets, about 3/4 inch thick
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 8 squares)
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup fat-free (skim) milk
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans

Directions

1 - Move oven rack to position slightly above middle of oven. Heat oven to 500F.
2 - Cut fish fillets crosswise into 2-inch-wide pieces. In shallow dish, mix cracker crumbs, lemon peel, salt and pepper. Place milk in another shallow dish.
3 - Dip fish into milk, then coat with cracker mixture. Place in ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Drizzle oil over fish; sprinkle with pecans.
4 - Bake about 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Toasting nuts adds a lot of great flavor. To toast nuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350F oven 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.
