Fish Crispies

This is not only incredibly easy; it's incredibly fast.

1 pound fish fillets [I suggest you get orange roughy. And don't buy more than two pieces. It's expensive and leftovers won't be very good. So pick out a piece that will be a meal for you and get that.
Olive oil
1/3 cup cornflake crumbs

The roughy will be frozen. Probably will thaw before you get it home. If not. Stick it in a plastic bag and float it in a couple of inches of cold water. (Not warm.) It should thaw in fifteen minutes or so.

Preheat your oven to 500
˚
Rinse off the fish, cut it into serving-size pieces. Two pieces roughy would probably cut into four. Use your fingers and spread some olive oil all over each piece of fish to give the crumbs something to stick to. Just a light coating of oil is fine.

Put some cornflake crumbs in a flat dish and dip the fish in. Get them nicely coated with crumbs.

Use Pam to spray a pan that will hold the fish without them touching each other.

Bake for 10 minutes without turning.

NOTE: It's possible that your range may not heat all the way to 500
˚. Don't worry, just bake at 450 and allow a minute or so extra. That's a really hot oven so be careful.
