Start by taking the filleted vacuum-sealed mackinaw packages out of the freezer a day in advance and place them in the fridge to thaw slowly. After they are thawed, remove any residual moisture from the fillet with a paper towel and do not rinse. Remove the pin bones from the fillets with a pair of needle-nose pliers (optional).

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Season the mackinaw fillets evenly with the salt, pepper and garlic salt. Place the fillets on a sheet pan.

Whip the egg whites with a fork and melt the butter. Mix all of the ingredients for the parmesan crust in a large mixing bowl until fully combined.

Top each fish fillet with the parmesan crust mixture and press down lightly.

Place sheet pan in the oven for 20 minutes or until the fish is opaque in the center. You may also check with an instant read thermometer and bake to 150° F.
