Ingredients

2 haddock fillets (or scallops) or 2 cod fish fillets (or scallops)
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 small lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon light butter, melted
Pam cooking spray
salt
pepper
garlic powder
1/2-3/4 cup white wine

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425.
Wash and dry fish fillets, then season with salt.
Meanwhile, mix breadcrumbs, melted butter, juice of a lemon, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
You will need to spray some cooking spray on the breadcrumbs to make sure they are moist enough. The breadcrumbs should be forming into moist crumbs.
Place fish in shallow baking pan.
Pour the white wine around the fish, making sure it does not actually cover the fish.
Place the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the fish.
Put the fish(for haddock or cod) in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, until almost done.
You then may want to broil the fish for a minute or two just to crisp up the topping.

Tips for Making the Perfect Baked Stuffed Scallops:

Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
Properly clean the scallops. Remove the tough side muscle from each scallop and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the scallops. Some popular options include garlic, lemon, herbs, and spices.
Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them or they will become tough and rubbery.
Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
