2. Prepare the Breading Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the white cornmeal, yellow cornmeal, salt, paprika, dried dill, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of all the spices.

3. Dip and Coat the Fish: Pour the milk into a separate shallow dish. Dip each fish fillet into the milk, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, dredge the fillet in the breading mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the fish.

4. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the breaded fish fillets in a lightly greased 13×9-inch baking dish or on a cookie sheet. Drizzle the melted butter and margarine evenly over the fillets to add richness and help with browning.

5. Bake the Fish: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has a beautiful golden-brown crust.

6. Serve: Remove the fish from the oven and serve immediately. For an extra touch of indulgence, serve with a side of browned butter, lemon wedges, or tartar sauce.

Tips for Success

• Choosing Fish: While this recipe uses whiting fillets, you can substitute with any white fish like cod, tilapia, or haddock. Adjust cooking time if necessary based on the thickness of the fillets.

• Crispier Coating: For an even crispier coating, you can add a tablespoon of flour to the cornmeal mixture.

• Browning Butter: To make browned butter, melt the butter over medium heat, allowing it to cook until it turns a golden-brown color and has a nutty aroma. This adds a delightful, rich flavor to the fish.
