INGREDIENTS
Sauce:
1/4 cup nonfat or light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped capers
2 teaspoons finely chopped onion
Rest of recipe:
4 cod, orange roughy, flounder, or other white fish fillets (5 ounces each)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fat-free egg substitute
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons finely ground Special-K cereal crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Olive oil cooking spray
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
To make the sauce, combine all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl
and stir to mix well.
Set aside.
Rinse the fish with cool water and pat it dry with paper towels.
Set aside.
Place the egg substitute in a shallow dish.
Place the cereal crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in
another shallow dish and stir to mix well.
Dip the fish pieces first in the egg substitute and then in the crumb
mixture, turning to coat both sides well.
Coat a medium-sized baking sheet with the cooking spray and arrange the
fish fillets on the sheet.
Spray the tops lightly with the cooking spray and bake for 12 to 15
minutes, until the outside is crisp and golden and the fish flakes
easily with a fork.
Serve hot, accompanied by the sauce.
