Oat Bran and Herb Crusted Baked Fish - Recipe



This was a good recipe, as usual there are a few things I would do differently next time. For one... I would use WAY less oat bran.

INGREDIENTS

4 large fish fillets (I used Basa, but any other white fish would probably do.)
1 egg
1/2 cup of oat bran and spices. I used a blend of garlic, Epicure's Pueblo Bean Dip, lemon and dill, salt and pepper as well as a couple other spices to coat the fish.

Beat an egg.

Take 4 basa fillets, defrosted, and give them an egg wash.

As you can see here the oat bran at the top couldn't soak up all the egg so it just ended up sitting there. With less oat bran and more spices this fish dish has the potential to be really delicious.

I then coated the fish in the herb and spice mixture and baked them at 350 until I ran a fork through them and they were flaky and cooked.

I put too much oat bran to try and make the coating crispy but because I put so much the oat bran at the top didn't soak up the egg and the oat bran at the bottom couldn't crisp up enough. Next time I will put more spices and less oat bran.
Also, I think next time I cook them I will try pan frying them in a little oil, maybe the coating will be crispier.
