Description

This dish transforms simple white fish fillets into a restaurant-quality meal using a clever cornflake crumb coating. The combination of egg white and water creates a light binder that helps the crumbs adhere without heaviness, while melted low-fat margarine adds richness without weighing down the palate. The result is a beautifully crisp exterior that gives way to tender, flaky fish inside. A dusting of lemon pepper provides a bright, zesty kick that cuts through the mild sweetness of the seafood. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, this recipe is both satisfying and light, making it an excellent choice for those watching their calorie intake without sacrificing flavor. It pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres properly.
  3. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until frothy.
  4. Place the cornflake crumbs in a separate shallow dish or pie plate.
  5. Dip each fish fillet into the egg white mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
  6. Press the coated fillet firmly into the cornflake crumbs, covering all sides evenly.
  7. Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  8. Brush or drizzle the melted low-fat margarine evenly over the top of each fillet.
  9. Sprinkle the lemon pepper seasoning generously over the fish.
  10. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and the crust is golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and let rest for 1 minute before serving.
