OVEN "FRIED" FISH
The other day, my husband was asking for fish and chips but with my high cholesterol, I have to avoid things like that. I found in a magazine at the doctor's office this recipe for oven fried fish, which is nice and crispy like the deep fried kind but without all the fat. This is excellent served with evelyn/athens' Spicy Oven Fries and your favourite cole slaw recipe.

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.

- Season Wisely: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and citrus to infuse flavor into the fish. Experiment with different seasonings to find your favorites.
- Don't Overcook: Keep a close eye on the fish while it bakes to prevent overcooking. The ideal internal temperature for most fish is between 145°F (63°C) and 155°F (68°C).
