Ingredients

    2 cod (or other white fish) fillets
    .25 cup dry bread crumbs
    2 tbsp grated parmesan
    1 tbsp felafel mix
    .13 tsp black pepper
    .5 tsp Cajun seasoning*
    1 tsp olive oil
    1 egg white
    1 tsp water
    1 spray canola oil

    chili powder
    onion powder

Put bread crumbs, parmesan, felafel mix, pepper, olive oil, and Cajun seasoning into blender and pulse until mixture is pulverized. Set crumb mixture aside.

Spray canola oil on broiling rack. Wash, pat dry, and slice each fillet in half. Beat egg white lightly with water, then brush all over fish fillets.

Lightly coat each fillet half with crumb mixture and place on broiling rack. Top fillets with remaining crumb mixture.

Bake for 10 minutes or until flaky and opaque. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

    Good
    I was just wondering what you do with the olive oil. Do you mix it with the bread crumb or with the egg?

    Hi Nina,

    It goes with the crumbs in the blender -- it helps them adhere to the fish! Thanks for catching the error. I fixed it!
