Crispy Fish with Lemon-Dill Sauce

I usually get Tilapia for this recipe because it's easy to find at my supermarket.  However, the Monterey Bay Aquarium seafood watch (http://www.seafoodwatch.org) says it has "environmental issues." I actually prefer Petrale Sole and Halibut (that's Halibut in the photo).  I like their taste and texture, but they are more expensive and harder to find in my area.  I buy the fish at the supermarket counter and not in bags.  It's the same price, you can buy as many as you like and (I'm guessing) it has been frozen one less time than the bagged fish. 

Voice of Experience Tip:  To get the crunchy texture, use Panko and not breadcrumbs.
