Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets. (20 minutes)
06 Step

Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product. (3 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mayonnaise mixture for a subtle kick.
If you don't have saltine crackers on hand, Ritz crackers or even panko breadcrumbs make a great substitute.
This recipe works beautifully with other firm white fish, such as cod, snapper, or grouper.
To prevent the fish from sticking to the baking dish, consider lining it with parchment paper.
A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice over the baked fish adds a bright and refreshing finish.
