How to Oven-Fry Fish in a Roasting Pan

Enjoy a low-fat alternative to traditional deep fried fish.

Delicious and nutritious, deep-fried fish is a family favorite. However, although fish provides a good source of protein as well as vitamins and minerals, when it is deep fried, it also contains high levels of calories and saturated fats. These can be damaging to your health, especially for people who have heart disease, irritable bowl syndrome or acid reflux. Provide your family with a healthy alternative that still has great taste and a crunchy texture. Oven fry your fish to reduce calories, fat and unpleasant cooking smells in your kitchen.
