Easy Breaded Salmon

Yields: 6 (6-oz) potions | 10 points per 6-oz portion

My rating:

I was very impressed with this recipe. In my opinion, this light breading adds the perfect amount flavor and texture to salmon. Because it is such a simple recipe, you'll likely have most of the ingredients already on-hand, and all you'll need to grab is the fish from the store! I realize that 10 points is a little on the high side, but in my opinion, salmon is healthy for you and worth the points. It's not like you're eating 10 points worth of candy! The salmon alone is 8.5 of these 10 points, so this is not a fattening recipe. Salmon is just high in calories. Also, 6 oz is a big serving. I can eat it, but you might be satisfied with 3 oz for just 5 points. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Please note that this yields 6 (6-oz) portions. You may want to halve it.

2 lbs salmon filets [Approx. 6 (6-oz) filets] -- Or substitute with fish of your choice
3/4 cup plain or seasoned bread crumbs (I use plain)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp paprika
1 egg white
1 Tb water
1 Tb lemon juice

Optional (Adds Points!)
3 Tb melted butter (I used a few squirts of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray" for 0 points)

Directions:

1) Heat oven to 475 degrees. Grease baking pan. In shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, and paprika; blend well. In another shallow bowl, combine egg, water, and lemon juice; whisk well.

2) Dip fish filets into egg mixture; coat with crumb mixture. Place fish in pan. If you want, give it a few spritzes of 0 point butter spray. Or, for extra point, drizzle with melted butter.

3) Bake at 475 for 10 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

Yields 6 (6-oz) portions -- 10 points
