Put the crackers in a medium bowl and use your hand to crush them until they are finely crushed. (Some coarser bits are OK.) Add 4 tb of the melted butter, the chives, parsley, lemon zest, and onion and garlic powders, and stir to evenly combine, making sure to moisten all the crumbs. Put the fish fillets in a large, ovenproof skillet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tb butter over the fish and turn to coat. Season the fish on all sides with salt and pepper. Mound the cracker mixture on top of the fish, covering it. (Some cracker crumbs will fall off the fish.) Roast in the oven for 10 to 16 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Plan for about 10 minutes per inch; the fish should flake easily, and the juices should be bubbly around the edges. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with paprika, and serve with extra lemon wedges on the side. Recipe by Sarah DiGregorio RECIPE FROM: https://cooking.nytimes.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
