Bake the fish on the upper oven rack until opaque in the center and the breading is golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, to make the coleslaw: 1) Add the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and celery seed to a mixing bowl. 2) Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together until everything is well combined. 3) Drizzle the dressing over the shredded coleslaw mix and toss until everything is well combined at the cabbage is well coated.

To save time and keep your baking sheet looking fresh, line it with a layer of foil before you apply the cooking spray.
