Cornmeal "Fried" Fish

This is a really simple way to prepare fish but with a huge impact! This recipe came as a way to use a bag of cornmeal I bought and to try a different way of preparing fish tacos without deep frying.  What I came up with was really delicious with the perfect amount of crispiness without being greasy.  I think this would be a great way to incorporate more fish into a diet!

Cornmeal "fried" fish.

1 tbsp oil (coconut, olive, whichever you'd like)
2 tilapia filets (any white fish would do)
2/3 cup egg whites (4 egg whites)
1/2 cup cornmeal
3 tbsp of old bay
1/2 tablespoon of Seasoned Salt

Cut the filets into smaller pieces (if desired).  Pat dry with paper towels.

Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat and put the oil in the pan.

Pour the egg whites into a bowl.

Put the cornmeal, Old Bay and Seasoned Salt into another bowl and mix together.

Take a piece of fish, place in the egg whites, shake off the excess, place in the cornmeal, shake off the excess, place back in the egg whites, then the cornmeal and then place in the hot pan.  Do this to all the fish and cook, turning the fish halfway through cooking and cook until done (about ten minutes depending on your fish).  
There you have it, my version of healthier "fried" fish.  It was delicious and perfect in fish tacos. Just need a really good sauce to go with it!



I prepare the fish to eat as fish tacos!

The sauce in the background is yogurt based (yogurt, lime juice, spices).
