"Fish are our friends, not food." Every time I eat fish, I think of that scene from Finding Nemo when the sharks are trying to stop eating fish. That movie cracks me up! But here in my world, fish are food! I found this great recipe on Recipezaar, and as usual, I made changes to "lighten" it up. It was very good my way, so I can only imagine how good it would have been with drizzled butter and extra Parmesan cheese. If you want the original recipe, it is #32478 on Recipezaar. I will give you my version!
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp. sage
3/4 tsp. oregano
3/4 tsp. basil
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder (of course)
black pepper
3/4 tsp. lemon pepper
1/2 cup lemon juice
parmesan cheese
cooking spray
fish fillets (I used Tilapia)
I poured some lemon juice in a bowl and dipped my fish in it. Then in another bowl, I combined all the spices and the bread crumbs. Coat the fish and place it in a 9x13 pan sprayed with cooking spray. I lightly sprinkled some parmesan cheese on top, then sprayed the fish with the cooking spray.
Bake at 500 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the fish is flaky.
It is only 3 points for a 3 oz. piece of fish.
*Just a note - I never measure my spices out - I just the palm of my hand, so I'm sure I put in more spices than called for.
This fish was excellent! I had some left overs for lunch today and it was still really good.
This is one of those rare fish recipes that I like. I got this from a Rachael Ray long long ago and as usual, I've adapted it to my tastes.
First, I put the haddock (or any white fish) in a pan/dish that has a bit of olive oil spread on it.
Then, I sprinkle some salt and pepper and some lemon juice. Put it in a 400 degree oven.
Then, I cut up about 4 pcs. of bacon - I use thick cut bacon - for about 2 lbs. of fish. I cook it up until it is nice and crispy. Then I drain the fat and put the bacon on a napkin to soak up the extra grease. Grease is bad! Sautee up a small onion in the pan until translucent.
Flip your fish over - it should be about done.
Once you're fish is almost done, I top it off with the onion and bacon, and finish baking it.
It is so good, I don't use any tartar sauce/mayo/ketchup! Of course, the guys do, but what do they know? :-)
I figure one fillet w/ bacon is about 6 points.
