Since I fake my way through playing Mr Mom for the kids, and since they like to be fed and watered occasionally, sometimes I'm in a hurry cooking so I can go fishing. I came up with this because it's quick, not messy and the kids get tired of fillets fried with egg and breadcrumb. I was impressed with what I came up with, LOL.

First, catch yourself a striper, 28-31 inches(the best eating kind), like this 29 incher:

Come home, and get out your 13X9 inch pyrex baking dish, or whatever it is and give it a quick spray on the bottom with Pam. Fillet your striper, skin it and cut each fillet into 3 pieces.

Place the fillets in the baking dish, skin side down. If the fish is any bigger than 31 inches, the 13X9 baking dish isn't big enough, just so you know.

Now brush the top of each fillet generously with virgin olive oil. Sprinkle parsley flakes that you crush between your fingers over the fillets, so the flakes are more like a fine dust. Add onion powder and garlic powder to suit your tastes. Then place a pat of butter or 2 on top of each fillet. When it's ready to go into the oven, it looks kinda like this:

Bake in a preheated oven on the middle rack for 25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees. When it comes out, it kinda looks like this:

Remove fillets with a spatula(or they break) and serve, pour a little of the butter sauce over the fillet once on the dinner plate for a very moist and sweet fillet. I find it very tasty and a welcome change from the frying in egg & breadcrumb routine.
