Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Perch fillets
- 250 ml Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 medium-sized Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Whole wheat flour
- 5 sprays Olive oil spray
- 1 can Cooking spray
Instructions
Rinse the perch fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, mix the low-fat buttermilk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and juice from half of the lemon. Submerge the perch fillets in this mixture, cover, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Place the whole wheat flour in another shallow dish.
Remove the fillets from the buttermilk, shaking off excess, then coat them in the flour, followed by the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure an even coating.
Arrange the fillets on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray each fillet with olive oil spray to help achieve a crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn on the oven's broiler and broil the fillets for an additional 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Watch them closely to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the fillets for added freshness.
Serve immediately with a side of your choice, like a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
