There is a recipe I want to make that requires me to flour, egg, and bread crumb fish fillets then fry it. I am trying to not fry. I never oven baked before - can someone tell me how?
 
Bread the filets as you described and place them on a rack on a baking sheet and bake in the oven.
 
Thanks!
They are all "fried" now and sitting in pickling liquid in the fridge. Probably crack them open tm night although I should give it 48 hrs.

Wait. What? You put breaded baked fish filets in pickling liquid?
 
I have never done fish that way, but to oven-fry chicken you bread it, then put it in a shallow pan with melted butter and bake it (turning it halfway through the cooking time). The melted butter "fries" it.

As far as the other stuff, I know nothing about it.
 
I noshed on a piece last night. It was really good. It actually is a sort of version of escobeche - my version is "fried," pickled in sweet and sour marinade. I think it is of Portuguese origin. Soft breading was fine - its actually more common than you would think - a lot of breaded dishes sit in a sauce of some sort (marinara, marsala, etc)
