Ingredients:
Quantity | Ingredient |
---|---|
1/3 cup | Cornflake crumbs |
1 tsp | Ground cumin |
1 tsp | Paprika |
1 tsp | Ground turmeric |
4 fillets | White fish (such as cod) |
1/4 cup | Plain flour |
2 | Egg whites |

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Crumb Mixture:
- In a shallow bowl, combine the cornflake crumbs, ground cumin, paprika, and ground turmeric. Mix well to incorporate the spices evenly into the crumbs.
-
Coat the Fish:
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Coat each fillet lightly in plain flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured fillets into the egg whites, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Apply the Crumb Coating:
- Press the egg-coated fish fillets firmly into the seasoned cornflake crumbs, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
-
Chill the Fish:
- Place the crumb-coated fish fillets on a plate and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Chilling helps the crumbs adhere better to the fish during baking.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Line a baking tray with foil and lightly coat it with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
-
Bake the Fish:
- Once chilled, transfer the fish fillets to the prepared baking tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crumbs are golden and crispy.
-
Prepare the Accompaniments:
- While the fish is baking, halve the cherry tomatoes and lightly toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on a separate baking tray and roast in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelized.
- In a separate pan, wilt the spinach over medium heat for a few minutes, just until it’s tender and vibrant green.
-
Assemble and Serve:
- Arrange a generous portion of cooked spinach on each plate.
- Top with a perfectly baked fish fillet.
- Scatter the roasted cherry tomatoes around the plate.
- Drizzle the entire dish with freshly squeezed lemon juice for a zesty finish.
-
Enjoy!
