  1. Ok, here are the changes that I made. I did not use the vegetable oil in the bread crumbs, I also used plain panko crumbs and then added my own seasoning including salt-free lemon pepper, garlic, crushed red pepper, basil, and oregano. I dipped the fish in the egg white and then rolled in the bread crumbs, sprayed a pan with pam olive oil and then sprayed the top of the fish with the pam olive oil. I baked the fish until it was golden brown on top and nice and crispy. I served it with parsley on top for color and then with fresh lime wedges. (Tip- lime hits the same note on your tongue as salt, use lime juice instead of salt and save on the sodium). For the broccoli I steamed it with fat free chicken broth, garlic powder, and basil to add a little flavor.
