Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg white
  • 2 ¼ cups cornflakes, crushed
  • 1 pound cod, cut into 4 pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
  • 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, radishes, cabbage, bell peppers, and/or tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil, place a wire rack on top, and spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk the egg white until frothy. Crush the cornflakes in another shallow dish.
  • Season the cod pieces on all sides with garlic powder, ground pepper, and salt.
  • Dip each piece of cod in the whisked egg white, letting the excess drip off, then coat it in the crushed cornflakes. Press gently to ensure the flakes adhere well.
  • Place the coated fish pieces on the prepared wire rack. Lightly spray the tops and sides with olive oil cooking spray for a golden finish.
  • Bake the cod for 15-20 minutes, until the coating is crispy and an instant-read thermometer reads 145°F when inserted into the thickest part.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by mixing the mayonnaise and dill pickle relish in a small bowl.
  • Assemble the sandwiches: Place a piece of crispy cod on each whole-wheat bun, add a dollop of sauce, and layer with your favorite fresh vegetables. Serve immediately.
