Salmon Fish Fingers
Top Tips• It is easier to make breadcrumbs from stale
bread, as it is drier. Make the crumbs in advance and store in the freezer until ready to use. Using wholemeal bread to create the breadcrumbs provides a healthy alternative to white. If you don’t have a blender, you can buy ready-made breadcrumbs but make sure you get the natural-coloured ones.

Method1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C Fan or gas mark 8.
2. Whiz the bread into crumbs in a blender or food processor.
3. Cut the salmon fillets into equal-sized fingers. Depending on the size of the fillets, you should be able to make 6–8 fingers from each.
4. Measure the flour into one of the bowls.
5. Break the eggs into another bowl and beat lightly with a fork until the yolk and white are combined.
6. Place the breadcrumbs into the third bowl.
7. Season the flour with black pepper, if you like.
8. Drizzle the olive oil over the baking tray and set aside.
9. Take each of the salmon fingers in turn and firstly roll them in the flour, then in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, evenly coating each one.
10. Arrange the coated fish fingers on the oiled baking tray and wash your hands after touching the raw fish.
11. Bake in the oven for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until crisp and golden.
12. Remove the tray from the oven using the oven gloves and place on the pan stand to cool slightly before serving.
Prepare now, eat laterPrepare ahead?
• The fish fingers can be prepared in advance up to step 9 of the recipe and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours or the freezer for 3 months.
Keep for later?
• If freezing the fish fingers, defrost them thoroughly and then follow the cooking instructions in step 10 of the recipe.
Something to try next time• Try using a different fish next time; for example,
trout or haddock make a great alternative to salmon.
• Why not try adding some chopped fresh parsley into the breadcrumb mix; this makes a really tasty addition to the crispy coating and also adds colour.
• Serve with Parsley Sauce or Herby Mayonnaise Dip. You will find the recipes for these in the Grow Your Own Herbs activity pack.
