UN-FRIED FISH
I have really been trying hard to lower the fat content of my foods for health reasons. In doing so I have been having fish a lot more often but I found myself missing the coating and texture of fried fish. I tried this as a test and the result isn't half bad if you realize that it's a compromise to keep your heart pumping. It won't work well with thin fillets as they cook too fast but with thicker fish (any kind, I used trout that I had in the freezer) this is a nice change from plain baked.

MOM'S FRIED FISH
Our family has an annual fish fry that centers around my mom's recipe. I think she makes the finest fried fish around. It's flaky and flavorful with a golden cracker-crumb coating, and her homemade tartar sauce is a fitting complement.-Julie Jahnke, Green Lake, Wisconsin

Tips:
- Choose Firm Fish: Opt for firm-fleshed fish like cod, tilapia, salmon, or halibut to ensure they don't break apart during cooking.
- Pat Fish Dry: Before coating or seasoning, pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to help the coating adhere.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Coat the fish in a flavorful blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs and spices.
- Dredge in Flour (Optional): Dredging the fish in flour before coating it in breadcrumbs or batter creates a crispy outer layer.
- Use Panko Breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs provide a lighter and crispier coating compared to regular breadcrumbs.
- Drizzle with Olive Oil: Before baking or air-frying, drizzle the fish with olive oil to keep it moist and prevent dryness.
- Cook to the Right Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the fish is cooked to the desired internal temperature, typically around 145°F for flaky and moist fish.
