How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Step 2: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle with the oil.

  • Step 3: Pulse the pork rinds in a blender until they have panko like consistency; pour into a shallow bowl and stir in the Cajun seasoning..

  • Step 4: Pat the fish dry with a paper towel then brush each filet with a tablespoon of mayo on each side.

  • Step 5: Place fillets into the panko mix and coat with mixture on both sides.

  • Step 6: Lay each filet on baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. (The cook time will vary depending on thickness of fish, to be sure poke the fish with a fork, if cooked it will flake easily.
