Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh white bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp roughly chopped basil leaves
- 2 tbsp roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 2 tbsp roughly chopped chives
- ½ finely grated lemon zest
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil, plus extra for brushing

How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small food processor, pulse the bread crumbs, herbs, lemon zest, and seasoning, until the bread crumbs are bright green.
- Add the oil in a slow stream, with the food processor running, until it forms a thick, bright green paste.
- Brush the fish fillets with a little oil on both sides and season them well. Press the herb crust onto the top (or skinless side) of the fillets, packing it down well. Place on a nonstick baking sheet and bake in the top of the oven for 10 minutes, or until cooked through and turning crispy on top.
