Ingredients
Fish Nuggets
- 1 pound fish fillets such as flounder or cod, boneless and skinless
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
- ½ cup Panko bread crumbs Italian seasoned
- ½ cup cornflake crumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
Caper Dill Mayo
- 1 small dill pickle
- 1 teaspoon capers drained
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Fish Nuggets
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Beat eggs and old bay seasoning and place in a small bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine both crumbs, garlic powder, and lemon pepper seasoning.
- Dab fish dry with a paper towel and cut into bite sized pieces, about 1 to 2 ".
- Dredge the fish in flour. Dip each nugget in egg and then into the crumb mixture coating all sides.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.
- Bake 10 minutes. Broil 2 minutes or until lightly browned if desired.
- Cook until fish flakes easily. Do not overcook.
Caper Dill Mayo
- Using a knife, carefully remove and discard the peeling from the pickle, then mince the soft inner flesh.
- Add the capers to the minced pickle, and using a fork, crush them together against the bottom of the bowl.
- Add the mayo, garlic powder, and dried parsley to the pickle/caper mixture and blend well.
- Serve with baked fish nuggets.
Notes
- Cook time can vary based on the thickness of your filets. Thinner filets will need 8-10 minutes while thicker filets may need up to 14 minutes. Do not overcook the filets.
- Ensure the fish is fully thawed to avoid mushy breading.
- Allow all excess egg mixture to drip off, there should just be a very thin coating.
- Fish can be baked on a baking rack if desired.
