Crispy Baked Fish

I consider myself very disciplined about eating healthy food. However, I always surrender my will when being served fried food of any kind. For my satisfaction and desire for these kinds of meals, nothing is better than using the crunchiness of Kellogg's corn flakes to coat chicken, pork, or fish to bake in the oven. Using this cereal makes for yummy, delicious fish, sealing in its natural juices and keeping it light and flaky as it comes out from the oven.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. of white fish, cod, or tilapia fillets
Spice mix:
1 cup corn flakes
1/4 cup panko
1 tsp fresh basil, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp paprika
2 tbs melted butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbs fresh lemon zest
Fish marinade:
1/4 cup nonfat yogurt
2 tbs ketchup
2 tbs lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:
In a food processor, crush the cereal into fine crumbs. Mix cereal crumbs with the rest of the spices ingredients on a plate and set aside.
In another mixing bowl, combine the fish marinade and mix well. Marinate fish for 30 minutes. Roll fish into the cereal mixture until all sides are covered. Spray a foil lined, 9 inch oval baking dish with cooking oil. Place fish in a single layer onto the prepared baking dish. Spray fish with some cooking oil and bake in preheated oven set to 375° for 10 minutes. Turn fish over and bake for another 10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce: ranch or sweet & sour.
