Parmesan Baked Fish Nuggets

Ingredients

• 8 oz (230g) frozen cod (thawed, cut into nugget pieces)
• 1 cup panko (bread crumb)
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs (lightly beaten cooking spray)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Cut the fish into 1.5 to 2-inch (4 to 5 cm) pieces and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the pieces on a dish.

2. 2

   Spread the panko in a thin layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, or until light brown. Transfer the panko to a shallow dish and mix in the Parmesan cheese and salt. Drizzle the oil over the mixture and stir well. Set out the flour and eggs in separate dishes. Place a wire rack on the baking sheet and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

3. 3

   In small batches, coat the fish in flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip the fish in egg and coat well with panko. Transfer the fish to the rack and bake until it reaches your desired tenderness, about 15 minutes, turning halfway through. Serve the fish nuggets with ketchup.
