Notes
This deliciously simple sheet pan meal can actually be made with any fileted fish- you could substitute cod, haddock, or even salmon.
The crispy lime topping makes this a really simple way to get the textures of fish sticks (which makes it kid-friendly) but without going the extra mile to batter the fish with an egg wash.
About 1-2 large limes will give you enough zest and juice needed for the recipe. No lime? Lemon will work, too. For the zest and juice, you’ll need 1-2 large limes.
No broccoli? Swap in just about any vegetable.
