Instructions
-
Preheat the oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 500°F (260°C). This high temperature helps to quickly bake the fish while keeping the fillets tender and moist. -
Prepare the sour cream coating:
In a small mixing bowl, combine the fat-free sour cream and grated lemon rind. Stir well to evenly incorporate the flavors. -
Mix the breading:
In a separate shallow bowl or on a piece of waxed paper, mix the whole-wheat bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and paprika. This will form the crispy coating for your fish. -
Coat the fish:
Dip each fish fillet into the sour cream mixture, ensuring they’re evenly coated on all sides. Then, roll the coated fillets in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well. -
Arrange the fish:
Lightly grease a shallow baking dish (or use non-stick spray). Arrange the coated fillets in a single layer, making sure they’re not touching. -
Drizzle with margarine:
Drizzle the melted light margarine over the top of the fish fillets. This will help them crisp up and add a little richness without too much added fat. -
Bake the fish:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. The high heat will give the coating a delicious golden brown crust. -
Garnish and serve:
Once baked, remove the fish from the oven and garnish with a few shavings of lemon peel for a fresh, zesty finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, flavorful bullhead fillets!
Recipe Notes:
- Substitutions: If you don’t have bullhead, you can use haddock, cod, tilapia, or any mild white fish for this recipe.
- Make it gluten-free: Simply substitute gluten-free bread crumbs to make this dish gluten-free without sacrificing texture.
- Weight Watchers Tips: The light use of margarine and fat-free sour cream keeps this dish at a low 5 WW points per serving. Pair it with a side of steamed vegetables for a healthy and satisfying meal.
This easy, quick, and low-calorie fish recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners or anytime you want a light, nutritious meal that doesn’t skimp on flavor.
