Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs firm white fish fillets (cod, haddock or flounder work well)
-
-
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese bread crumbs)
-
3/4 cup toasted wheat germ
-
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 1 Tbsp of dried)
-
1 1/2 teaspoons dried mustard
-
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
-
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
2 egg whites
Instructions
- Toast the panko bread crumbs on an unoiled baking sheet sheet in a 350 degree oven for about five minutes, or until lightly golden.
- This step is optional, but it adds a nice flavor.
- Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
- Rinse the fish fillets under cold water, pat dry and set aside while you mix the crumb topping.
- In a large shallow bowl, mix the panko, wheat germ, dill, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg whites.
- Dip the fillets in the egg whites, and then dredge them in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Be sure to coat both sides evenly.
- Place the breaded fillets on a baking sheet that's been lightly sprayed with non stick cooking spray.
- Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
