Servings: persons

1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
About 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon nonfat milk or water
1 pound skinned, boned fish fillets (such as catfish, orange roughy, or rockfish), about 1/2 inch thick
Cooking oil spray
1/4 cup nonfat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Hot sauce

1
Place a 10- by 15-inch nonstick pan in a 500u00b0 oven until pan is hot, about 5 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, on a plate mix cornmeal, paprika, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3
In a shallow bowl, beat egg white and milk to blend.
4
Rinse fish fillets, pat dry, and cut into serving-size pieces.
5
Coat fish with egg white mixture, then cornmeal mixture. Set aside in a single layer.
6
When pan is hot, mist lightly with cooking oil spray. Quickly arrange fish pieces well apart in pan. Bake until fish is browned on bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn over and continue baking until fish is golden on top and opaque but still moist-looking in thickest part (cut to test), 2 to 3 minutes longer.
7
Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise, pickle relish, onion, and vinegar to make tartar sauce.
8
With a wide spatula, transfer fish to plates; add salt to taste. Serve with tartar sauce and hot sauce.
