Ingredients

• 4 pieces haddock fillets
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 2 large egg whites
• 0 non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse the haddock fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Drizzle the fillets with lemon juice and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

In a shallow bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and dried parsley. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are slightly frothy.

Step 6

Dip each haddock fillet into the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.

Step 7

Place the breaded fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the fish with non-stick cooking spray, which will aid them in browning and crisping up while keeping them low-fat.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the coating is golden and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of a healthy side, such as a green salad or steamed vegetables.
