Crispy Fish Fingers With Jalapeno Ranch Salad Recipes

CRISPY FISH FINGERS

Steps:

• Put the bread in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until bread crumbs form. Toast the crumbs in a large, dry nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat, stirring frequently and breaking up the crumbs with a spoon if they begin to stick together, until crisp and golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. On a plate, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Cut the fillets into 4 by 1-inch strips. A few pieces at a time, dip the fish into the flour mixture, dusting off the excess. Dip the fish in the egg and then the bread crumbs. Arrange on the baking sheet and continue until all of the fish is breaded. Bake until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chives and cayenne, if using. Season, to taste, with freshly ground black pepper.

CRISP CRUMBED FISH FINGERS

Steps:

• Cut fish fillets into long diagonal strips, each measuring about 3/4 inch wide.
• Break eggs into a shallow dish and beat well with a fork. Place bread crumbs in another shallow dish. Put flour, salt, and pepper in a large zip-top bag.
• Dip fish strips in egg, turning to coat well. Place on a plate and then shake a few at a time in the bag of seasoned flour. Dip in egg again and then in bread crumbs, turning to coat well. Place on a tray in a single layer, not touching, and let the coating set for at least 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/2 inch oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry fish strips in batches (taking care not to overcrowd the pan) in the hot oil for about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, turning once. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and repeat to fry remaining strips.
• Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
