Time 15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 fish fillets (I like Talapia)
butter-flavored cooking spray
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Lay fish in pan.
  • Spray with butter flavor spray.
  • Sprinkle with cajun seasonings and bread crumbs.
  • Flip fish over and repeat steps.
  • Place in oven, bake about 3-5 minutes, flip fish and bake other side.
  • Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • Cooking time will depend on thickness of fish used.

Tips for Making the Best Cajun Low-Fat Baked Fish:

  • Choose a firm, flaky fish such as tilapia, cod, or halibut. These fish will hold their shape well during baking and absorb the Cajun spices.
  • Make sure the fish is thawed and patted dry before baking. This will help the spices adhere to the fish and prevent the fish from steaming instead of baking.
  • Use a light coating of olive oil on the fish. This will help the spices stick to the fish and prevent it from drying out.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If the fish is too crowded, it will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the fish at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust on the fish and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Serve the fish immediately. Cajun low-fat baked fish is best served hot out of the oven. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes.

Conclusion:

Cajun low-fat baked fish is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. It is a great option for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With its bold flavors and crispy crust, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
