Healthier Homemade Filet-o-Fish
This Healthier Homemade Filet-O-Fish is a revamped version of the classic fast-food sandwich, crafted to offer a more nutritious and flavorful experience.
Ingredients
For the fish:
- 2 white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or bass), each about 4 ounces
- Salt and pepper
- 1 egg whites, lightly beaten
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- Cooking oil spray (olive oil or canola oil)
For the Sauce:
- 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 1 tbsp brine
- 1 tbsp chopped pickles
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Assembly:
- 2 buns
- 2 slices reduced-fat cheese (such as American, Swiss, or cheddar)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C) and line the baking sheet with parchment.
- Season the white fish fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dip each fish fillet in the beaten egg white, allowing excess egg to drip off. Coat each fillet with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Spray the fish with oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Once baked, take it out and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine light mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, brine, chopped pickles, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust quantities to taste.
- Split and toast 2 buns. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Slightly melt it in the microwave. Place a cooked fish fillet on the cheese, spread the sauce over each fillet and cover with the top bun. Enjoy!
