Ingredients

Crumb

  • 300 g panko bread crumbs
  • Oil spray

Coating

  • 400 g large fillets of skinless and boneless fish see notes
  • 40 g mayonnaise
  • 1 large egg
  • 40 g all-purpose flour plain flour, divided
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp dill finely chopped
  • Tartar sauce to serve
  • Lemon wedges to serve

Instructions
 

Crumb

  • Bake bread crumbs - Add the panko bread crumbs to a baking tray and bake on bake on 180C / 350F (fan off) 160C / 320F (fan on). Spray with oil spray and bake for 10 minutes or until golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Mix with flour - Once cooled add to a flat dish like a small baking tray or large flat bowl. I actually like adding them to a large container that has a lid.

Paste

  • Prep fish - I like to wash the fish under running water, then place on a chopping board lined with paper towel and pat dry. Discard the paper towel and slice the fish fillets into thin strips, about 3cm in width.
  • To make the paste - Add the mayonnaise, egg, flour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder and dill into a large mixing bowl and use a spoon to combine until smooth.
  • Coat the fish in paste - Add the fish to the bowl and use your hands or the spoon to mix and coat the fish in the paste.
  • Coat in crumbs - Use tongs to add the add the fish fillets into the crumbs and toss to coat. Don’t overcrowd the crumb mixture with fish.
  • Bake - Once coated, place on a baking tray, spaced apart and bake for 15 minutes. Once baked, sprinkle with sea salt and chives and serve with tartar sauce.

Notes

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. To bake, take them out of the freezer, space apart on a baking tray, spray with oil and then bake an extra 10 minutes.
Fish - The fish I used was Ling fillets. But Fresh Water Basa or Cod fillets will also work. I’ve even used chicken tenders!
Tartar Sauce - Is a great sauce to serve these with!
