Step 1
Spread bread crumbs on a rimmed baking sheet and place into the oven.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 425°F, toasting bread crumbs while the oven preheats. Timing will depend on the oven, but it should take about 5 to 6 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the baking sheet when bread crumbs are lightly golden, stirring once (watch carefully so crumbs don't burn).
Step 4
Meanwhile, stir together zest, oil, basil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
Step 5
Stir in toasted bread crumbs and mix until evenly blended.
Step 6
Brush the baking sheet lightly with additional oil.
Step 7
Pat fillets dry with paper towels.
Step 8
Coat both sides of fillets by pressing into crumb mixture in the bowl and then place them onto the oiled baking sheet.
Step 9
Press remaining crumbs on top of fillets. Bake until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 15 minutes.
