Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375° F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside. Add the water to a large soup pot over high heat and bring to a boil.
- In a small bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, lemon zest, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and half of the garlic. Mix until well-combined.
- Lay the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush each with egg white. Press 2 Tbsp of the panko mixture onto the top of each fillet. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp of the lemon juice. Spray the top of each fillet with cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes.
- While the fish is baking, blanch the green beans in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Add the margarine to a nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic, the almonds, and the green beans, and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the green beans with the remaining 2 Tbsp of lemon juice and sauté for 2 more minutes.
- Serve 1 fish fillet with 1 cup green beans and 1/2 cup brown rice (optional)
