Note

Tips

• - I generally use fresh fish fillets but you can use frozen fillets to. Thaw them at room temperature.
• - You can also add chives or sesame seeds to beaten egg.
• - The success of this dish is in the perfect cooking in the oven. You'll understand that your fillets are ready when they have formed a nice crust.
  I have also experienced another way. I spray olive oil directly on the oven paper before placing my raw fillets on the baking sheet. In this way their breading soaks with seasoning. From the point of view of health, however, it is better to add olive oil once removed from the oven.
• - I always learned to keep olive oil on hand in a spray bottle. It is very useful in cases like this to distribute it uniformly. So I'm able to use less olive oil!

Menu planning

• - Breaded baked fish fillets are a great idea for your family menu. The recipe is very quick and easy. Besides you avoid frying.
• - Accompany them with seasonal vegetables.

Healthy eating

• - If you want to decrease calories you just do not do double breading. Dip fillets only in beaten egg and breadcrumbs. In this case calories are 271 and carbohydrates are only 8.8 grams.
• - Fiber per serving: 0,8 grams.
