Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fresh or frozen whitefish fillets (1/2-inch thick)
  • 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. lemon-pepper seasoning

Method

  • Thaw fish, if frozen, and cut into serving size pieces. Combine flour, salt and lemon-pepper in a shallow dish. Set aside. Beat egg white in a bowl until frothy. Combine bred crumbs, cornmeal, lemon peel and basil. Dip top of fish fillets into flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip into egg white.
  • Coat with bread crumb mixture.
  • Spray an unheated shallow baking pan with nonstick coating.
  • Place fillets in baking pan, coating side up, tucking under any thin edges of fish.
