Crispy Cornmeal Bass (or Flounder)

1/2 Cup yellow cornmeal

crispy bass fillets with lots of fresh spices

1/4 Cup chopped fresh parsley

1 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano

2 tsp Cajun Seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

2 egg whites, lightly beaten

3 Tbsp Dijon mustard

4 (60z) Flounder or bass fillets, skinned

4 tsp olive oil

Combine cornmeal, parsley, oregano, Cajun seasoning, and salt on a large plate or plastic bag.  Combine egg whites and mustard in a large bowl; mix well.

 

Dip bass fillet in egg white mixture, then in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to coat.  Place the fillet on a plate; repeat with remaining fillets.

 

Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a large cast iron or non stick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add 2 fillets and cook, until golden brown and just opaque in the center, about 3 minutes on each side (less if small fillets).  Transfer the fillets to a platter.  Repeat with remaining 2 tsp of oil and 2 fillets.

I discovered this recipe in Weight Watchers Ultimate Flex & Core cookbook.  Not only is it good and good for you, the whole family voted to keep it around.
