How To Do Just About Everything
Do you love the taste of good, southern fried fish, but hate the mess and the calories from all that grease? Are you trying to lose weight, reduce your fat intake, or just eat a bit healthier? Maybe you just want a quick and easy family meal. Whatever your taste, here is a new twist on Southern Fried Fish that is sure to please your tastebuds. Well, here is the way to make Southern "Fried" Fish in the oven. Not only will you avoid the mess, but you will also avoid the fat.
Lightly coat baking sheet/cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Place approximately two cups of seasoning mix into a one-gallon plastic baggie.
FOR SEASONING MIX: I use one 10 oz. bag of Louisiana fish fry. If you don't have that brand available feel free to use another pre-packaged mix. Of course, you can do it the "hard way" and use two cups of corn meal that has been seasoned to taste with your favorite seasonings--salt, pepper, lemon pepper, cayanne pepper, etc.
Rinse fish fillets and lightly dry with a paper towel. I find that the coating sticks better if you leave the fish a bit wet or if you spray the fish with a light coat of cooking spray before coating.
Place two fish fillets into the baggie and shake until throughly coated with the mix. Repeat with remaining fillets.
Arrange fillets on baking sheet so that they do not touch.
I like to add a dash of Tony's cajun seasoning to the top of the fillets as well. If you don't enjoy hot/spicy seasoning you should skip this step.
