  1. In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt and pepper; set aside. Set fish on a plate and spread both sides with mustard. Next, dip fish into egg whites, turning to coat both sides. Lastly, dip fish into cornmeal-mixture, turning to coat both sides.
  2. Coat a large oven-proof skillet with cooking spray and set over medium to medium-high heat; heat oil until shimmering. Add fish to skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side; flip fish and cook until done on other side, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
