"The only kind of seafood I trust is the fish stick, a totally featureless fish that doesn't have eyeballs or fins."
-Dave Barry, Columnist

The refrigerator light goes on...

Melba toast is amazing as breading! Fried fish doesn't have to be fried to taste like fried fish.

1 large egg
1 medium egg white
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 box (5 ounces) plain melba toast
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
4 4 ounce fish filets (tilapia, cod, whiting)
spray oil

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place a large non-stick cookie sheet or skillet in the oven.

Place the fish filets on a stack of three paper towels so that they are not touching each other. Cover with there more paper towels and press down slightly so that as much of the fish is in contact with the towel.

Place the egg, egg white and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.

In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, place the melba toast, salt and black pepper and process until small crumbs. Leave some pieces about the size of currants.

Dredge a fish filet in the egg mixture, coating thoroughly. Dredge in the breadcrumbs, patting and turning frequently until well coated.

Dredge the coated fish in the egg wash a second time and then coat again with breadcrumbs.

Remove the cookie sheet or skillet from the oven and spray lightly with oil. Place the fish in the pan so that the fillets don't touch each other. Spray the top of the fish lightly and then place in oven. Bake for 3 minutes and then turn. Spray the top of each fish filet lightly with the oil. Bake 5 minutes more and then turn again. Spray lightly with the oil again and bake for about 6 more minutes.
