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
- ⅓ 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.
