- Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Transfer the seasoned fish to the oiled portion of the sheet pan, skin side down. Evenly top with the remaining pesto mayo and enough of the breadcrumbs to coat (pressing gently to adhere). Drizzle with olive oil.
-
Roast the fish
