Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp powdered wasabi
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 4 tbsp canola oil
• Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 4 fish fillets -cod, tilapia or salmon
• ¼ cup hoisin sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, wasabi, ginger and lime zest. Add the oil and mix until combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
3. Lay fish fillets on the prepared pan, leaving enough space between to cook evenly. Divide the hoisin sauce among the tops of the fish fillets and smooth out for an even, light coating. Top each fish fillet with the bread crumb mixture, covering the top entirely and gently packing down to adhere.
4. Bake the fish fillets in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the oven and thickness of the fish.
