You guys may like this, I love it. I buy the steamer vegetables out of the freezer, the steam in the bag while you microwave type. I like the vegetable one with the rice, sometimes use the one with the cheese sauce in the rice. After microwaving the rice and vegetables I put it in a cheap aluminum throw away baking pan leaving it about an inch from the top, then I add the fillets, I usually use a light dusting of Old Bay seasoning after I brush the fillets with melted margarine, I have also seasoned it other ways but I like the Old Bay, anyhow then you bake them for about ten to twelve minutes, very good and fast too, they come out firm and flaky.

I tried a baked crappie recipe that I got off this site called crappie scampi. You just butter or spray Pam on a casserole dish and then put in a layer of crappie filets. Put on some pats of butter or drizzle a little olive oil on them. Drizzle a little lemon juice on them. Season them with garlic or garlic powder, Cavender's Greek Seasoning, (or you could use Old Bay or cajun or creole seasoning) and a little salt and pepper. If you want to, you can add additional layers of filets doing the same drill as far as seasoning them. Bake them at 355 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes until they flake. I had 2 layers over about 1/2 the dish and 3 layers over the other 1/2, and it took 30 minutes. The recipe didn't call for this, but last night I put some shredded mozzarella and topped that with some grated parmesan cheese about 5 minutes before it was done.

It was awesome. Even my 2 sons who are die hard fried fish folks snarfed it up and came back for serious seconds.

Try blackened crappie. I fix these a lot and they're really good. Just thaw out your fillets and pat them dry. Coat both sides with your favorite blackened fish seasoning - I like Paul Prudhomme's or Zatarain's. Get your pan hot, I mean almost smokin hot and pour in enough canola oil to just coat the bottom. Lay the fillets down and don't move them around. It only takes a few minutes on each side. When I flip to the other side I squirt in some lemon juice and and toss in a couple pats of butter. YUM. If you don't want to smoke up the house, you can do this outside on the grill. I make a "pan" out of a couple layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. Works great and no pan to wash later.

That sounds good and no cleanup!
