  • 1 Tablespoon freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free dijon mustard (Grey Poupon, French's or O Organics)

Instructions:

  2. In a shallow bowl, add bread crumbs; and set aside.
  3. In a separate shallow bowl, add egg whites.
  4. In yet another shallow bowl, combine rice flour, salt, pepper, and paprika; and whisk to combine.
  5. Dredge a piece of fish in flour, coat in egg whites, and finally pat firmly into the bread crumbs.
