Equipment

Oven
2 Small Mixing Bowl
3 Medium Mixing Bowl
Baking Sheet

Ingredients

Fish

2 lbs Fish Fillets; such as tilapia or haddock
4¼ cups Cornflakes Cereal
⅓ cup Flour Whole wheat
¼ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
2 Eggs Large
¼ cup Milk Nonfat
Non-Stick Cooking Spray

Tartar Sauce

½ Lemon Medium
½ cup Mayonnaise Light
½ cup Yogurt Plain, nonfat
3 Tbsp Sweet Pickle Relish
¼ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cut fillets in 8 roughly even-size pieces.
In a medium bowl, crush cornflakes.
In a second medium bowl, mix flour, salt, and black pepper.
In a third medium bowl, add eggs and milk. Beat with a fork.
Dip each fish piece into flour, then egg mixture, then cornflakes. Each piece should be fully coated with flakes.
Coat baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Place fish pieces on sheet, evenly spaced. Spray pieces lightly with cooking spray.
Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15-20 minutes. While fish cooks, prepare tartar sauce.
Rinse lemon. In a small bowl, squeeze juice. Discard seeds.
In a second small bowl, add mayonnaise and yogurt. Whisk with a fork until smooth. Add relish, black pepper, and 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Stir until combined.
When fish cooked, serve immediately. Add a dollop of tartar sauce on top or serve on the side.

Notes

Leftovers can be refrigerated for about 1 day. Reheat in oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. Add to fish tacos, wraps, or salad.
To crush cornflakes easily, place in a bowl and crush using the bottom of a measuring cup. Or, place in a large zip-top plastic bag and crush using your fists or the bottom of a measuring cup.
For a different flavor, try topping with a fresh fruit salsa instead of tartar sauce.
