Preheat the oven to 350°F-very important when baking fish!
Butter a baking dish. Make sure scrod can be laid out by piece with space. Add the fish, the lemon juice and the wine. Add salt and pepper to taste. (Substitute salt is fine!) Use a quarter cup of the melted butter to set a fine drizzle on the fish.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes; no under-or over-cooked fish. The fish should be flaky, yet still moist. Turn the oven on to broil. Dust the breadcrumbs evenly over the fish, and then add the remaining butter evenly over the fish filets. Broil for another few minutes, just to brown the breadcrumbs to a delicious toastiness.
Serve with your choice of rice, potatoes or pasta, and a veggie, such as asparagus or broccoli.
