Clean Eating Breadcrumb Baked Fish

Are you looking for a healthy, easy dish that the whole family will love?

 

Look no further! This healthy, clean recipe will be a winner! It’s quick, easy and yummy!

Healthy eating is such an important part of healthy living.  When I started eating clean, I was, and still am, always on the lookout for recipes that are QUICK, EASY and kid friendly.  I am not making different meals for everyone, so I needed to find something the WHOLE family (including my somewhat picky hubby and preschooler) enjoys. It can be difficult to find clean recipes, so I started looking for healthy recipes that I could tweak, make clean and fit my family’s palate.   This fish is loved by everyone and makes a regular appearance on our menu.

Breadcrumb Baked Fish was a recipe I adapted from a breaded fish recipe I found years ago, but it needed a healthy makeover.  For starters I decided to only cover one side of the fish and to use whole wheat bread crumbs.  I make my own bread crumbs from the stale ends of our whole wheat bread. Who likes to eat the end piece anyway? I let it sit out for a few hours to get nice and stale, then pop the bread in my Vitamix to make crumbs. Bread crumbs will keep for a long time in the freezer!

This fish is so simple to make and quick to clean up! You can have dinner on the table in 20 minutes!
