• Save and reserve the other half of lemon juice to add in just before serving.

FISH OREGANATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with foil and then spray with non-stick spray.
• Place the fillets on the baking sheet. Combine remaining ingredients (EVOO through oregano) in a bowl. Press the bread crumb mixture into the fish fillets making sure they are covered. Bake until the fish is just opaque in the center, about 10 minutes.

BAKED FISH OREGANATA

• Spread half the butter mixture on one side of the fish and place buttered side down in baking dish.
• Pour wine over the fish and dot with remaining butter.
• Seal tightly with foil and bake 20-25 minutes depending on thickness of fish.
• Remove foil and sprinkle breadcrumbs over fish.
• Place under a broiler- away from the direct heat and broil for approximately 5 min more or until top becomes nice and golden.

SOLE OREGANATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix both bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and salt in a shallow dish.
• Pour melted butter over both sides of sole fillets. Place fillets in bread crumb mixture and press to coat. Transfer to a baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 12 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until crumb topping is light golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• While the fish is cooking, melt butter for sauce in a pan over medium heat. Add cream, Pinot Grigio, lemon juice, and pepper; stir until sauce is smooth and has thickened slightly.
• Serve sauce over sole.

BAKED CLAMS OREGANATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the clams on a sheet tray and put them in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes or until the clams just begin to open. We don't want to cook the clams, we just want them to open a little.
• Using a butter knife pry the clams open and remove the top shell and discard. Completely pull the clam away from the bottom shell and place it back in the bottom shell. This will allow for easy eating.
• Preheat the broiler and adjust the rack to the top shelf.
• In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, oregano, crushed red pepper and some salt. Add the olive oil and stir until well combined. Add chicken stock until the mixture is quite wet. Taste to check the seasoning, add more salt if needed.
• Pack each clam full of the bread crumb mixture. Pack the bread crumbs down and really secure the edges. This will help the clam stay moist.
• Place the clams on a sheet tray and add about 1/2 cup of water to the tray. This will also help the clams stay moist. Put the tray under the broiler for 5 to 6 minutes or until the bread crumbs are nice and brown and crispy.

BAKED CLAMS OREGANATE

Steps:

• Heat broiler. Place rack in lowest setting, or about 12 inches from heat.
• Combine bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, oregano and salt and pepper. Add olive oil, and toss until crumbs are evenly coated. Stir in broth, mixing to blend. Mixture will be quite damp.
• Put a rounded teaspoon of the crumb mixture on each clam, smoothing the top. Arrange clams on baking sheet with sides, and pour in about 1/8 inch water. Broil until topping is lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
