Cornmeal Parmesan Cod Fillets

Here’s a delicious, low calorie way to have breaded fish.  You can also use flounder or sole, and bake a little less time (as they are usually thinner.)  I quickly stir-fried some vegetables while the fish was in the oven.                    

Cornmeal Parmesan Cod Fillets

     ¼     Cup  Flour

     ¼     Cup  Cornmeal

  1        Teaspoon  Salt

     ½    Teaspoon  Paprika

     ½    Teaspoon  Pepper

  2        Large  Egg  Whites

  2        Tablespoons  Skim Milk

  4        4-6 Ounce  Cod Fillets

  1        Tablespoon  Grated Parmesan Cheese

Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, paprika and pepper in a shallow bowl or plate.

In another shallow bowl, beat egg whites and milk.  Coat fish with cornmeal mixture, dip in egg white mixture, coat again with cornmeal mixture.

In a shallow baking pan like a 15 x 10 x 1" pan, sprayed with pan coating (I like to use nonstick foil), arrange fish in a single layer.  Sprinkle with parmesan.

Bake uncovered, at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
