Crispy Oven "Fried" Fish

I love fried fish but, wanted a recipe I could make at home that was lower in fat and didn't involve a oil fryer.  I came across this oven-baked recipe, which turned out beautifully.  I used fresh cod fillets and served with a side salad and vegetable.  The fish was perfect as baked.  and stands nicely 'on its own' meaning, it did not need any sauce or lemon. ~Enjoy!

Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish and pat dry with a paper-towel.
Place milk in a shallow dish, Place flour in a separate shallow dish. In a third shallow dish combine bread crumbs, cheese, dill, salt & pepper; add in melted butter, and stir crumb mixture until well combined.
Dip fish in milk, coat with flour, dip again in milk and then into crumb mix to coat all sides.
Place fish on a greased baking sheet.
Bake, uncovered for 5 to 9 minutes or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork.
