Savour crispy fish without guilt: the only recipe you need for a healthy feast

Fish, with a few notable exceptions, are the epitomes of health. Dieticians and World Health Organization specialists advise that we incorporate fish into our diets at least twice a week for optimum health. This way, our bodies can benefit from easily absorbed proteins, vitamins and healthy fats from fish.

One of our favourite ways to enjoy fish is when it's fried in batter. Do you feel the same way? It's not surprising if you do. The crunchiness of the golden crust that reveals delicate, tender fish meat underneath is irresistible. However, it's a hard truth that it's also one of the least healthy ways to prepare fish.

It was heartening to discover that there's a way to eat and have our cake, too. Yes, it's possible to prepare fish in batter healthily. The secret is your oven. Interested? Let's get started!

• Fillets of your favourite fish (about 1.5 lbs),
• 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan,
• 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs,
• A bit of grated lemon zest,

• Salt and pepper.

Preparation method:
