• Remove the baking sheet when bread crumbs are lightly golden, stirring once (watch carefully so crumbs don't burn).
• Meanwhile, stir together zest, oil, basil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
• Stir in toasted bread crumbs and mix until evenly blended.
• Brush the baking sheet lightly with additional oil.
• Pat fillets dry with paper towels.
• Coat both sides of fillets by pressing into crumb mixture in the bowl and then place them onto the oiled baking sheet.

• Ensure the breadcrumb mixture is not soggy or wet after tossing the first filets, if needed add more panko breadcrumbs. For a thicker coating, after the first round of dipping, dip each fish filet again into the buttermilk mixture and breadcrumb mixture. In that case the panko breadcrumb quantity should be doubled.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the coating is golden brown and fish is fork tender. Spray with cooking spray mid baking for the coating to have a shiny, golden brown color.
