Description
Spicy Fish Nuggets are a crispy and flavorful snack made with boneless white fish, panko breadcrumbs, and a flavorful spice mix.
Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g boneless white fish, cut into cubes
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1–2 teaspoons peri peri seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon crushed black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for spice mix)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fish: Pat the fish cubes dry with paper towels and cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Create the Spice Marinade: Combine vinegar, peri peri seasoning, ginger garlic paste, salt, crushed black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of flour in a bowl to form a paste.
- Marinate the Fish: Toss the fish cubes in the spice mixture and let sit for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Set Up Your Breading Station: Prepare three shallow dishes for flour, egg wash (egg and milk), and seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
- Bread the Fish Nuggets: Dredge each marinated fish cube in flour, dip in egg wash, and then roll in panko breadcrumbs.
- Cook the Nuggets: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C), then fry the nuggets in small batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, adjust the peri peri seasoning to taste.
- Allowing the fish to marinate longer enhances the flavor.
- Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for optimal frying results.
