- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
1-2
ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb fish fillet (cod or any other firm fish)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons yogurt
- salt
- pepper
- breadcrumbs
directions
- Preheat oven (395°F, 200°C). Line out a baking tray with baking parchment.
- Cut fish fillet bite-sized pieces (nuggets). Drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a bowl combine milk, egg, mustard and yogurt. Mix well and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Dip the fish nuggets into milk mixture to cover nuggets with the sauce.
- Take nuggets out of the sauce (using a fork) and let drip off excess of sauce and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Place them on the baking tray and bake them for 10 minutes. Then heat up the oven and broil them until they are golden brown.
- Take them out of the oven and serve them hot with your favorite sauce, salsa or dip.
- NOTE: Can easily prepared in advance and freeze. Follow the directions and bake them only for 10 minutes. Take them out of the oven and freeze them. To serve: take them out of the freezer, thaw and broil them until they are golden brown.
- NOTE: I do not have given the amount of breadcrumbs needed. Sometimes I need more, sometimes less. But coat the nuggets only with a thin layer of breadcrumbs. You can replace the breadcrumbs by ground almonds. This will add a nutty flavor to the nuggets.

Wow! These are addictively good and so easy to make! I usually don't like fish, but the taste and texture of these was wonderful. I also added a bit of tobasco sauce to the mustard/milk/yoghurt mixture, and used Italian Seasoned breadcrumbs with a dash of Salmon Seasoning. Wonderful and will definitely make again!

Definetly 5 wonderful stars!!! I had this for my New Years Day dinner and so glad I did! What a way to start the new year!!!. First let me tell you that I am not the biggest fish lover. I want to eat more fish this year to assist me in healthier eating habits. What a way to start eating baked fish! This is delicious! I don't want to tell you, but I'm going to tell you- that I fried about 1/3 of the fish nuggets. They too were very good, but actually took away from the flavor. The baked fish was better and cooked to pefection in the time listed. I used Tilapia which was my first time using it. I loved it, but I am still going to be trying other fish with this recipe! Thank you Thorsten!!! This is GREAT!!! Happy New Year!!!

Awesome recipe! Love that you can make ahead and freeze for later quick cooking! I gave this a Texas twist- of course- and used a mix of cornmeal and flour instead of breadcrumbs and added some hot sauce to the mustard/yogurt sauce. This was really yummy! Loved that they are baked not fried! Thanks Thorsten for a great and healthy recipe!
