Herb Crusted Fish

I am always looking for new recipes and I have been craving fish lately so in my New Meditarreanean Diet Cookbook I found this one and made just a few changes and love it.

Herb Roasted Fish Fillets in Marinara Sauce

1 ½ - 3 c. tomato sauce
small pinch of red pepper flakes
small pinch of sugar
lemon juice to taste
1 lb. fish, divided into 4 serving sizes
½ c. flour
1 egg, slightly beaten
½ c. dry bread crumbs, unflavored
2 T flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 T chives, finely chopped
2-3 T olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced

In a small sauce pan combine tomato sauce, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and sugar, cook until thickened but not too thick to pour on top of the fish. Set aside.

Pat fish dry and dredge into the flour, dip in egg, then into the breadcrumbs mixed with the herbs and garlic. Over medium heat, in a skillet bring the olive oil to a hot temperature being careful not to burn. Carefully add the breaded fish to the pan and brown, turn only once. Transfer onto a serving platter and top with the tomato sauce.
