#77 Parmesan-Panko encrusted Fish and Avocado Salsa

I have examined literally hundreds of recipes for grilled, baked and poached fish over the course of my life. Most of them have either too many ingredients or too many steps to follow. This is such a simple and tasty recipe that I even convinced my daughters to bake when they were in high school –sort of told them to make it with extra love and it would be baked in a jiffy.
