Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces haddock fillets
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 large egg whites
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the haddock fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Drizzle the fillets with lemon juice and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a shallow bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and dried parsley. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are slightly frothy.
Dip each haddock fillet into the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
Place the breaded fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the fish with non-stick cooking spray, which will aid them in browning and crisping up while keeping them low-fat.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of a healthy side, such as a green salad or steamed vegetables.
