Crispy Orange Roughy with Dilled Yogurt Sauce
1 pound fresh or frozen orange roughy fish fillets, 1/2 to
3/4 inch thick
nonstick cooking spray
1/4 cup corn meal
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1 egg white
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 8 ounce carton plain fat free yogurt
1/4 cup lemon fat free yogurt
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
few dashes bottled hot pepper sauce
lemon wedges, optional
Thaw fish if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 4 serving
size pieces. Spray a shallow baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside. In a
shallow dish combine cornmeal, thyme and lemon pepper seasoning. In another
shallow bowl beat egg white and water until frothy. In a third shallow bowl
combine bread crumbs, wheat germ, parsley and paprika. Dip fish fillets into
cornmeal mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip into egg white mixture, then coat
with bread crumb mixture. Place the fish in the prepared baking pan, tucking
under any thin edges. Bake in a 450F oven just until fish begins to flake easily
with a fork; allow 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness of fish. Meanwhile, for
sauce, in a small bowl stir together plain yogurt, lemon yogurt, dill weed and
hot pepper sauce. Serve sauce with fish. If desired, garnish with lemon wedges.
