Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets
- 0.5 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the plain low-fat yogurt and lemon juice. Mix until smooth to create a coating for the fish fillets.
In a separate shallow dish, mix together the whole wheat breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Dip each fillet into the yogurt mixture, ensuring a thin, even coat.
Next, press each yogurt-coated fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, covering both sides well to form a crispy layer.
Place the breaded fillets onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are spaced evenly to allow hot air circulation for even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the fillets with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy. The fish should flake easily with a fork when done.
Serve hot with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
