How to Make Oven Fried Fish
- Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Position a rack on the top shelf.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Lightly spray or brush the wire rack with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
- Pat 1 pound of fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia work well) completely dry with paper towels. Slice fillets in half lengthwise for easier cooking.
- In a pie plate, whisk together 1 large egg white and 1/4 cup buttermilk.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Working with one fish fillet at a time, lightly dredge in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured fish into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Let excess drip off.
- Dredge the fish in the flour mixture again, shaking off excess.
- Place the breaded fish fillets onto the prepared wire rack, leaving some space between each.
- Repeat steps 7-9 with the remaining fish fillets.
- Lightly spray the fish with cooking spray or brush with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. This is crucial for extra crispiness!
- Bake on the top rack of the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy. Do not turn the fish during cooking.
