Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.0 pound white fish fillet (such as cod or haddock)
- 1.0 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2.0 large egg whites
- 2.0 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2.0 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1.0 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- as needed cooking spray
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the paper with cooking spray.
Cut the fish fillet into 1-inch bite-sized pieces and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy and then stir in the lemon juice.
In another shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, pepper, salt, and chopped parsley.
Dip each fish piece into the egg white mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture by pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the coated fish bites on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other.
Spray the tops of the fish bites lightly with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit).
Remove from the oven and let them sit for a minute before transferring to a serving platter.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an added zest.
