Breaded Fish with Rice Pilaf

We don't eat a lot of fish at our house - but when we do - this is one of the ways we like it. I like to use cod but when it is too expensive - any white fish should work. As for the Rice Pilaf - this recipe comes from Mom and Dad Dysart. Not sure where they got it from - but Russell really likes it. That's all that matters at my house.

Breaded Fish
desired amount of fish to feed your family
1-2 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups fine bread crumbs - either homemade or storebought
parmesan cheese
Italian seasoning

Cut fish into serving pieces. Coat in beaten egg. If you have a lot of people in your family - 2 eggs are the better option.
Combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and Italian seasoning in a food processor and mix well. I just eyeball the cheese and seasonings.
Coat the fish pieces in breadcrumb mixture and place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with vegetable spray. Bake at 500 degrees for about 15 minutes or until fish is flaky when you go to separate it with a fork.
Serve with tartar sauce if desired.

Rice Pilaf
2 cups long grain white rice
2 1/2 TBSP oil
4 cups boiling water
4 tsp boullion
3/4 cup thin pasta (such as angel hair or spaghetti)

Combine rice, oil and pasta in a skillet. Over high heat brown the rice. Pour into a 2 qt casserole dish. Add boullion and boiling water. Mix. Cover casserole and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
