Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Put the Triscuits in a quart sized baggie (or your food processor.)
1 Serving
Add the wheat bran and the spices.
¼ cup Wheat Bran, 2 teaspoon Onion Powder, 2 teaspoon Garlic Powder, 2 teaspoon Dried Parsley, 1 teaspoon Paprika, 1 teaspoon Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Oregano
If you don't have wheat bran just add a few extra crackers. I use the bran to bulk up the breading. It adds extra fiber with minimal calories.
Using a flat mallet or rolling pin bang the bag and mash up the crackers mixing everything together.
Pour the "breading" on a plate.
Meanwhile, cut the thick parts of the cod fillet into chunks and leave the thinner ends alone.
2 large Cod fillets
Dip the cod into the breading.
Now, when I bread fish I don't use an egg wash. I find the fish to be moist enough to hold the breading. Feel free to dip in egg first if you like.
Lay the breaded fish pieces on cookie sheets sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Spray the tops with a bit more spray.
I separated the thick pieces from the thin as they would have slightly different cooking times.
Bake for 20 minutes on the top rack. Turn the broiler on for the last 5. I removed the thinner fillets about a minute after turning the broiler on.
For side dishes I roasted Brussels Sprouts (click here for the recipe) and made a quick brown rice dish using some onion, the loose leaves that fell from the sprouts, soy sauce and the leftover "bread" crumbs.
