Baked Fish:
Baking fish allows you to get the satisfying crunch of fried fish without all the fat. Just because it's baked, though, doesn't mean it's healthy: watch the amount of butter, oil, mayonnaise, or cheese called for in the recipe.
Try this easy recipe for baked fish fillets. You can use any firm white fish: cod, haddock, or grouper work well.
- 1 1/2 pounds grouper or other white fish fillets
- Cooking spray $
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice $
- 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise $
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper $
- 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, melted $
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Notes: Haddock or cod would make good substitutes for the grouper. Adjust the baking time depending on the thickness of the fish.
Place fish in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine lime juice, mayonnaise, onion powder, and pepper in a small bowl, and spread over fish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs; drizzle with butter. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Sprinkle with parsley.
