Ingredients

1 kg side of salmon, skin off, pin boned
1 large egg
1 tsp paprika
125g wholemeal bread
15g Cheddar cheese
olive oil
broccoli & lemon mayonnaise to serve

  1. Cut the fish into 5 x 120g portions. The nature of the shape of the salmon side means that they won’t be uniform in size, but that’s all part of their charm. I tend to cut the side lengthways about 3cm thick, then into chunks from that. 

  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with paprika & a pinch of sea salt & black pepper.  

  3. Tear the bread into a food processor, grate in the cheese, add 2 tablespoons of oil and whizz until you have breadcrumbs, then tip into a tray.  

  4. Coat each fish portion in the egg mixture, let any excess drip off, then turn in the breadcrumbs until well coated all over. Transfer to a tray lined with greaseproof paper, layering them up between sheets of paper until they’re all coated (this is probably more bread than you need, but it is easier to work with – discard what’s left).  

  5. Cook right away or freeze in the tray – once frozen, you can pop them into a tub or sandwich bags for easier storage. 

  6. To cook, place however many jumbo fish fingers you need on a roasting tray and cook in a preheated oven at 200°C/180 Fan/gas 6 for 15 minutes from fresh, or 20 minutes from frozen, or until golden and cooked through.

  7. Serve with broccoli and lemon mayonnaise
