Coat fish with whisked egg and then breading. (Press the breading into the fish to help it stick.) Spread fish out in a single layer on sheet pan. (If you want the final product to be golden brown, drizzle or brush some cooking oil over top of the fish.)
Transfer fish to oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until cooked through and golden.
