Un-Fried Fish
"I have really been trying hard to lower the fat content of my foods for health reasons. In doing so I have been having fish a lot more often but I found myself missing the coating and texture of fried fish. I tried this as a test and the result isn't half bad if you realize that it's a compromise to keep your heart pumping. It won't work well with thin fillets as they cook too fast but with thicker fish (any kind, I used trout that I had in the freezer) this is a nice change from plain baked."

I made this as written using tilapia fillets. It was very simlpe and quick to prepare. A very good way to lower fat content. -
I made the recipe as written on pollock fillets. It made a very nice, simple dinner. I'll be making this again. -
I really enjoyed this recipe! I did add alittle Mrs.Dash Garlic and Herb seasoning and alittle black pepper to the cornmeal and added bits of butter over top of fillets. I didn't have butter flavored cooking spray so I used Pam with Olive Oil. I baked this at 350' for 20 minutes. Thanks for sharing the recipe! :) -

I cut the recipe down for 1 thick cod fillet, and used 1/4 cup of cornmeal with a dash of salt, pepper, and added a little dill weed. I added a little squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the finished fish, and served with Recipe #178033 on the side. This was a quick and healthy supper that I truly enjoyed. Made for 1st Annual Holiday Tag Game. Thanks for posting a great recipe Annacia.
