Ingredients

  • 4 pieces (4 ounces each) Skinless cod fillet
  • 4 Whole grain hamburger buns
  • 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dill, fresh and chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
  • 2 Egg whites
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 0 Avocado oil spray
  • 4 pieces Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season them with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with whole wheat flour, one with beaten egg whites, and one with panko bread crumbs.

Step 4

Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg whites, and finally coat with panko crumbs. Press gently to ensure crumbs adhere.

Step 5

Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with avocado oil.

Step 6

Bake the fish fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through the cooking time.

Step 7

While the fish is baking, prepare the sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.

Step 8

Toast the whole grain hamburger buns lightly until golden.

Step 9

To assemble, spread a generous spoonful of the yogurt sauce on the bottom half of each bun, place a baked fish fillet on top, add a lettuce leaf, and cover with the top bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy homemade Fillet-O-Fish sandwich.
