Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 large egg white
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 60 ml low-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
Blot the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
In a food processor, add the fish fillets, egg white, low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and fresh parsley. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Step 4
Transfer the fish mixture to a bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into small balls approximately the size of a walnut, ensuring each fish ball is compact to prevent them from falling apart.
Step 6
Arrange the fish balls on the prepared baking tray. Lightly spray them with the olive oil spray to aid in crispiness.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Step 8
Once golden brown and crisp, remove the fish balls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve with a side of low-fat yogurt dip or a squeeze of fresh lemon for added zest.
