Directions
Step 1
Carefully scrape off any remaining fish flesh from the skins using a sharp knife, leaving only the skin.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Step 7
Lay the fish skins flat on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 8
Lightly spray the tops of the fish skins with cooking spray to promote extra crispiness.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until skins are crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
