Making your own fishfingers might sound like an ordeal, but it’s a little bit of mess and about 10 minutes of your time. For this slight inconvenience you’ll be rewarded with luxurious chunky goujons instead of the skinny minnie versions that come out of a packet when you’re knackered on a Thursday evening.
I’m a bit obsessed with limes at the moment, as you probably gathered from the coconut and lime drizzle cake, it now continues with this savoury recipe.
I zested a lime and mixed it with the mayo that forms the first coating on the fish, then zested another lime into the crispy panko breadcrumbs which are the top coat. It lends a freshness to the rich oily salmon and gets you in the mood for spring.
If you’re making your own fishfingers you can be more careful about where the fish you’re using has been sourced from and also try different types of fish too. Salmon can be expensive, so any chunky firm fish will do.
Once you’ve assembled them stick them in the fridge to cook later, or whack them straight in the oven and they’re ready in 15 minutes.
I developed this recipe for Parentdish, so if you’d like to see the full rundown on how to make it you can find the RECIPE HERE
Speedy Suppers!
As this is ready in under 30 minutes, I’m entering this into March’s round of Speedy Suppers which i’m hosting this month! Have you got a similarly speedy recipe you’d like to share? Hop on over and add yours to the list!!!
As well as being speedy, it’s also a family friendly recipe so is getting entered into Family Foodies hosted by the brilliant Lou from Eat Your Veg and Vanesther from Bangers & Mash
These look so tasty! What a brilliant entry for this month’s Family Foodies fab fast food challenge – thank you for sharing 🙂
Thanks Vanesther – fab to join up with your challenge this month!
lovely idea Katie! We do cod goujons but now the kids do eat salmon too, this is a good way to present it!
Great for the oily fish intake 🙂
Lovely – and very speedy. We made turkey goujons last night 🙂
Gotta love a goujon Ren!
Love goujons of all types of fish as do all 3 of my kids. This I will certainly be trying out on them. Also love lime and think it goes particularly well with salmon. Yum!
It’s great that your lot love fish, I hated it as a kid but will eat it about once a week now.
We made these yesterday with trout vs salmon. Panko breadcrumbs are just the best!
That’s a good idea to use trout Urvashi, will do that next. Panko rule… I sprinkled them on a cheesy pasta bake at the weekend and they were just so crunchy… mmmmmmm….
Delicious! I possibly might need to try these!
I think you might have to Helen 😉
I have been admiring these all over the place since you published them. I must try making them for Ted!
Thanks Sarah – hope he approves!!!
