Something as humble and everyday as a fish
finger can be made even more nutritious if
you make your own, and even better, you
can go jumbo in size! I like to use salmon
but, of course, white fish works well, too.
Cut the fish into 10 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.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the
paprika and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Tear the bread into a food processor, grate in the
cheese, add 2 tablespoons of oil and whiz until
you have breadcrumbs, then tip into a tray. 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 – simply discard
whatever’s left). Cook right away or freeze in
the tray – once frozen, you can pop them into
a tub or sandwich bags for easier storage.
To cook, place however many jumbo fish
fingers you need on a roasting tray and cook
in a preheated oven at 200°C/400°F/gas 6 for
15 minutes from fresh, or 20 minutes from
frozen, or until golden and cooked through.

especially salmon, is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which

Sides of salmon are often on special
– it’s simply one of the realities of the
fish farming industry that due to
variations in supply and demand,
there’ll be surpluses. So when you
see salmon on special – take action
and take advantage of that great
value!
