HEART-HEALTHY OVEN "FRIED" FISH



Heart-Healthy Oven

This recipe came from a "heart-healthy" class that my wife and I attended a few years back. The recipe was offered by professional dietitians who didn't seem too radical in their approach to cooking. In other words, they didn't hesitate to add small amounts of herbs, spices, etc., which would make the dishes tasteful, such as the celery salt in this recipe. Enjoy this one!

Super Crunchy Oven Fried Fish That Will Knock Your Socks Off! image

This is a recipe handed down to me from a buddy who has ran a seafood restaurant on the waters of Marina Del Ray, California. I have never found a crunchier, juicier and flavorful but yet oven fried fish ever. Enjoy it, I have. To prevent overcooking, buy fish fillets at least 1 inch thick. The bread crumbs can be made up to 3 days in advance, cooled, and stored at room temperature in an airtight container.

Time 48m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large slice white bread, torn into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1 small shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1/4 cup plus 5 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish (optional)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 1/4 lbs haddock fillets (1 to 1 1/2 inches thick) or 1 1/4 lbs other thick white fish fillets, cut into 4 pieces (1 to 1 1/2 inches thick)
lemon wedge

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse bread, melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in food processor until bread is coarsely ground, eight 1-second pulses (you should have about 3 1/2 cups crumbs). Transfer to rimmed baking sheet and bake until deep golden brown and dry, about 15 minutes, stirring twice during baking time. Cool crumbs to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Transfer crumbs to pie plate; toss with parsley and shallot. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees.
  • 2. Place 1/4 cup flour in second pie plate. In third pie plate, whisk eggs, horseradish (if using), mayonnaise, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until combined; whisk in remaining 5 tablespoons flour until smooth.
  • 3. Spray wire rack with nonstick cooking spray and place in rimmed baking sheet. Dry fish thoroughly with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge 1 fillet in flour; shake off excess. Using hands, coat with egg mixture. Coat all sides of fillet with bread crumb mixture, pressing gently so that thick layer of crumbs adheres to fish. Transfer breaded fish to wire rack. Repeat with remaining 3 fillets.
  • 4. Bake fish until instant-read thermometer inserted into centers of fillets registers 140 degrees, 18 to 25 minutes. Using thin spatula, transfer fillets to individual plates and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Fish: Opt for lean fish like tilapia, cod, or flounder, as they are lower in saturated fat and higher in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health.
  • Use a Non-Stick Baking Sheet: This will prevent the fish from sticking and ensure even cooking. If you don't have a non-stick baking sheet, you can use parchment paper.
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before cooking the fish. This helps to ensure that the fish cooks evenly and doesn't dry out.
  • Season the Fish Generously: Use a flavorful blend of herbs, spices, and seasonings to enhance the taste of the fish. You can also add lemon zest, garlic, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Baking Sheet: Make sure to leave enough space between the fish fillets or pieces so that they cook evenly. Overcrowding can cause the fish to steam instead of bake.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the fish for the recommended time, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when it's done.

Conclusion:

Oven-fried fish is a delicious and heart-healthy alternative to traditional fried fish. By following these tips, you can create a crispy, flavorful dish that is packed with nutrients. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad, for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
