Mikey's Fish Tacos

What do you get with Mike's trip to Costco and a love of Mexican food? Mikey's Fresh Fish Tacos! These are the best, because the fish is baked not fried. My close friends and family know that I detest cooking fried foods - I hate the grease and smell! The key to the crispiness of the meat is the panko bread crumbs, which are in your neighborhood grocery store...

Mikey's Fish Tacos (feeds 4)

2 cups panko bread crumbs
1/4 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 tsp each fresh ground pepper, dried parsley flakes, chili powder and garlic powder
2 lbs. fresh rock cod, sliced into 1" wide strips
1 egg
1/4 c milk
flour or corn tortillas, soft taco size

Preheat oven to 350º; line a jelly roll or roasting pan with foil and lightly spray with Pam. In a flat dish, Mix bread crumbs with seasonings and set aside. Beat egg and milk; dip each strip into the mixture and then coat the fish in the bread crumbs. Lie strip flat on pan; repeat process until all strips are coated. Bake until fish is golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. Wrap tortillas in foil and during last 5 minutes, place tortillas in oven to warm. Serve fish and tortillas immediately with favorite taco ingredients, such as:

lettuce
cilantro
chopped fresh onions
chopped fresh jalapeños, seeded
cheese
sour cream
avocados/guacamole
tomatoes
salsa or hot sauce
