Ingredients:

• Cooking spray
• 4 (4 oz.) fish fillets
• 3 tbsp. seasoned bread crumbs
• 3 tbsp. cornmeal
• 1/4 tsp. celery salt
• 1/8 tsp. ground red pepper
• 1 tbsp. canola oil or peanut oil
• 1 egg white, slightly beaten
• 1/2 tsp. water

Methods/steps:

1. Rinse and pat each fillet dry with paper towels. 
2. Measure the thickness (thickest place) of your fish fillets and pre-heat oven to 500 degrees. 
3. Stir together the breadcrumbs, corn meal, celery salt, and red pepper. 
4. Add the canola oil (or peanut oil) to this mix and blend with a fork.

7. Spray a baking pan with the cooking spray and place the fillets, crumb side up, in the pan.
