8
ounces fresh or frozen skinless cod fillets
2
tablespoons Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1
egg white
1
tablespoon fat-free milk
2
tablespoons Progresso® bread crumbs
2
tablespoons finely chopped almonds
1/2
teaspoon snipped fresh thyme
1
tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly coat a 9x9x2-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut fish into two serving-size pieces, if necessary. Measure thickness of fish.
  • 2 Place flour in a shallow dish or small bowl. In another shallow dish, whisk together egg white and milk. In a third shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, almonds, and thyme. Coat both sides of fillets with flour. Dip fillets in the egg mixture; dip in bread crumb mixture to coat.

The fish looks impressive and beautiful once it is cooked, but it didn't have any taste at all. If I were to make this again, I would probably marinate the cod beforehand to give it some flavor. Or at the very least, rub it in some salt or garlic. We made it with a mixed spring salad with chopped apples, feta cheese, glazed almonds, dried cranberries and vinaigrette which we found was a great accompaniment.
