Tips and tricks:
- Crush the kornflakes in a food processor or plastic bag to ensure they are finely crushed and stick well to the fish.
- Make sure to press the kornflake mixture onto the fish to ensure it sticks well.
- Use a non-stick baking sheet or lightly grease the parchment paper to prevent the fish from sticking.

Troubleshooting advice:
- If the kornflake mixture is not sticking well to the fish, try pressing it onto the fish more firmly or dipping the fish in the egg mixture again before coating it in the kornflake mixture.
- If the fish is not cooked through after the recommended cooking time, bake it for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until cooked through.

Food safety advice:
Make sure to cook the fish to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to ensure it is safe to eat.
