  • Use a firm white fish fillet, such as cod, halibut, or tilapia. These fish fillets are lean and healthy, and they hold up well to the herb crust.

  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If you crowd the baking sheet, the fish will not cook evenly.

  • Baste the fish with the pan juices during the last few minutes of cooking. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.

  • Serve fish herb crust immediately. The herb crust will get soggy if it sits for too long.
