Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 4 serving-size pieces. Spray a shallow baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

In a third shallow bowl combine bread crumbs, wheat germ, parsley, and paprika. Dip fish fillets into cornmeal mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip into egg white mixture, then coat with bread crumb mixture. Place the fish in the prepared baking pan, tucking under any thin edges.

Bake in a 450 degree oven just until fish begins to flake easily with a fork (allow 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish).
Step 4
Meanwhile, for sauce, in a small bowl stir together plain yogurt, lemon yogurt, dillweed, and hot pepper sauce.Step 5
Serve sauce with fish. If desired, garnish with lemon.
