Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) firm white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock), cut into strips
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning and Cooking:
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil for baking
Instructions
- Initiate the potato preparation by cutting and seasoning with a blend of aromatic spices, ensuring each slice is evenly coated with olive oil and selected seasonings.
- Arrange potato slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, maximizing crispiness potential at 425F for 25-30 minutes, rotating midway to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration.
- Construct a three-station breading setup: flour for initial coating, whisked eggs for adhesion, and a seasoned breadcrumb mixture incorporating Parmesan and complementary spices.
- Transform fish strips through a precise coating sequence: dust with flour, immerse in egg wash, then thoroughly encrust with seasoned breadcrumb mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Position breaded fish fingers on a clean parchment-lined tray, lightly misting with cooking spray to enhance exterior crunch and promote even browning at 425F for 15-20 minutes.
- Present the crispy fish fingers alongside golden fries, accompanied by zesty lemon wedges and preferred dipping sauce for a complete culinary experience.
Notes
- Swap regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free options for those with wheat sensitivities, ensuring everyone can enjoy crispy fish fingers.
- Pat fish dry before breading to help coating stick better and create an extra-crunchy exterior that doesn’t fall off while cooking.
- Use fresh white fish like cod or haddock for the most tender and flaky texture that melts in your mouth.
- Experiment with seasoning blends in the breadcrumb mixture, adding herbs like dill or parsley for an elevated flavor profile that makes the dish more exciting.
