Prep time 20 minutes
Cooking 3 to 4 minutes
Makes 6 to 8 portions
Ingredients
Half pound skinless sole or flounder fillets
One and a half cups Rice Krispies
3 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 (quarter) tsp paprika
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
1 egg
2 tbsp plain flour
2–3 tbsp canola oil, for frying
salt and pepper, to season
Lemon mayo dip
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
1 tsp lemon juice
A pinch of salt to season
Cut the fish into little finger-sized pieces. Cover and set aside in the fridge. Put the Rice Krispies, Parmesan and paprika in a food processor, and whiz to fine crumbs. Transfer to a plate and stir in salt and pepper to taste and the sesame seeds (if using). Beat the egg in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Spread the flour out on a separate plate.
Toss three or four of the fish pieces in the flour then dunk in the egg and roll in the Krispie crumbs until well coated. Sit on a clean plate and continue with remaining fish. Cook immediately or freeze according to the instructions below.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the fish fingers. Fry for 1 1/2 –2 minutes each side, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper and cool slightly before serving.
To make the dip, mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. If you like you can season the dip to taste with a pinch of salt.
To freeze, lay the uncooked fish fingers on a baking sheet lined with cling film. Cover with cling film and freeze around 2 hours, until firm. Transfer to re-sealable plastic bags and cook as above, direct from frozen (the cooking time is the same). Not suitable for reheating.
Dips area good way to encourage healthy eating. Serve with sticks of carritm pepper, celery as well as toasted pitta slices.
