Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. 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.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, lemon zest, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and half of the garlic. Mix until well-combined.
  3. 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.
  4. While the fish is baking, blanch the green beans in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  5. 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.
  6. Drizzle the green beans with the remaining 2 Tbsp of lemon juice and sauté for 2 more minutes.
  7. Serve 1 fish fillet with 1 cup green beans and 1/2 cup brown rice (optional)

Excellent recipe to make bland fish tasty. Breadcrumbs I used were panko. So crunchy. The lemon zest and parmesan is delicious. I added this to my favorites and my husband loves it!
Easy to follow and few ingredients.
