Oven Baked Fish Fingers

Oven Baked Fish Fingers! Kids and adults alike love these oven-baked Fish Fingers. A much healthier alternative to deep-fried fish with all the delicious flavor and crunch! Plus, these go so well with my home-made tartar sauce which is so much better than store-bought and just as quick to make as opening up a jar!

Nicks favourite thing…

I absolutely adore how light these are! When I’m looking for an easy and quick dinner option on a weekend or weeknight these do just the trick! They’re filling, but with none of the greasy after taste of deep-fried food. Although there’s a time and place for that! Serve these with my delicious tartar sauce. It’s way yummier than store bought and quicker to make than opening up a jar lid!

What do these fish fingers taste like?

These fish fingers are full of flavour! Crispy panko bread crumb coating with paprika and salt. Sprinkled with more salt once baked! So delicious! Best served with my home-made tartare sauce!

What are the ingredients I need to make Oven Bake Fish Fingers?

Panko bread crumbs – are a Japanese bread crumb that have a crispy texture especially when baked. But you can regular day old breadcrumbs if you wish!

Oil spray – regular vegetable oil spray is best

All-purpose flour – also known as plain flour

Salt – I used fine salt for the coating but sea salt flakes once the fish fingers were baked.

Paprika – I used powder paprika. You can also add a little garlic powder in there too!

Large fillets of skinless and boneless fish – The fish I used was Ling fillets. But Fresh Water Basa will work. I’ve even used chicken tenders!

Mayonnaise – regular whole egg mayonnaise is best.

Egg – I used a large egg

Dill – finely chopped. This is optional. Chives or parsley will also work.

How To Make Oven Baked Fish Fingers.

Crumb

1. Add the panko breadcrumbs to a baking tray and bake on bake on 180C / 350F.
2. Spray with oil spray and bake for 10 minutes

3. Or until golden. Set aside to cool.
4. Once cooled add to a flat dish along with the flour, salt and paprika and mix.

Coating

1. Prepare the fish by slicing the fish fillets into thin strips about 1 inch in diameter.
2. To make the coating, add the mayonnaise, flour, egg and dill and stir until well combined. This will help the bread crumbs stick to the fish and stay on while baking.

3. Add the fish and toss using tongs to coat.
4. Add the fish fillets into the crumbs and toss to coat.

5. Place on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes.
6. Sprinkle with sea salt and chives and serve with tartar sauce.

My Top Tips!

• To Freeze – These fish fingers can be prepared and frozen on a baking tray before being baked. Then once frozen add to a zip lock bag.
• Fish – The fish I used was Ling fillets. But Fresh Water Basa will work. I’ve even used chicken tenders!

Tartar Sauce–  is a great sauce to serve these with!
