5. Sprinkle the fillets evenly with bread crumbs.
6. Broil the fillets in the preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the thickest part of the fish flakes easily with a fork.

8. Remove the foil from the pan carefully, ensuring you dont spill the excess butter sauce. Pour the sauce over the fish.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
