Ingredients
- For the Fish:
- 600g (1.2lb) white fish fillets, patted dry (e.g., tilapia, ling, cod, basa)
- Oil spray (olive oil or any plain)
- For the Crumb:
- 1 1/2 cups (75g) panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup (25g) Parmesan, grated
- 2 tsp paprika (optional)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- For the Batter:
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- For Serving:
- Tartare sauce or other seafood dipping sauce (optional)
- Lemon wedges
- Finely chopped chives or parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Toast the Breadcrumbs: Spread breadcrumbs on a tray, spray with oil, and bake for 4 minutes until golden. Once toasted, transfer the breadcrumbs to a bowl and mix in the Parmesan, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Increase Oven Temperature: Increase oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) (or 200°C for fan ovens). Spray the tray you used for the breadcrumbs with oil.
- Prepare the Batter: In a separate bowl, mix together the egg, mayonnaise, flour, salt, and pepper to make the batter.
- Cut and Coat the Fish: Cut the fish fillets into strips about 1.5 x 11 cm (3/5 x 4.5 inches). Coat the fish strips immediately with the batter (don’t let them sit around or they’ll get watery). Then, dip the fish in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat.
- Bake the Fish Fingers: Transfer the coated fish strips to the prepared tray. Spray with oil and bake for 13 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown on the outside.
- Serve: Serve immediately with lemon wedges, Tartare Sauce, or any dipping sauce of choice (e.g., creamy lemon sauce, pink sauce, or ketchup). Garnish with chives or parsley if desired.
Notes
- For extra crispy fish fingers, make sure to coat the fish well and spray with oil before baking.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
