Home-baked fish fingers are a delightful and healthier alternative to the store-bought variety. This recipe is simple and uses fresh ingredients to create crispy, flavorful fish fingers that are perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings. With the zest of lime adding a tangy twist, these fish fingers are sure to be a hit.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs and lime zest. Mix well to evenly distribute the zest throughout the bread crumbs.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined. This will be used to help the bread crumbs adhere to the fish.
Pat the white fish dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Cut the fish into finger-sized strips, approximately 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.
Dip each fish strip into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it well. Allow any excess egg to drip off before transferring the strip to the bread crumb mixture. Press the fish into the bread crumbs, ensuring it’s completely covered on all sides. Place the breaded fish fingers on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. You can flip the fish fingers halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Remove the fish fingers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They are best served hot with your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
Tips:
- Use panko bread crumbs for an extra crispy texture.
- Make sure to preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
- Line your baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cut the fish into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- For added flavor, season the bread crumbs with your favorite herbs and spices.
This home-baked fish fingers recipe is easy to prepare and produces a wonderfully crispy, flavorful result that the whole family will enjoy. By following the tips and cooking with fresh ingredients, you can create a delectable dish that is both healthy and satisfying. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
