Ingredients
  

  • 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
  • For the Fish Spice Mix
  • 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

Instructions
 

  • Add vinegar, peri peri seasoning, ginger garlic paste, salt, and black pepper to the fish cubes and mix well until evenly coated. Sprinkle the flour over the fish and toss gently. In one bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, all-purpose flour, and dried parsley. In another bowl, whisk the egg with milk. Dip each piece of fish into the egg mixture, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside on a tray. To cook Spicy Fish Nuggets, deep fry in medium-hot oil until golden on all sides, air fry at 180°C for 10–15 minutes flipping halfway, or bake at 200°C for 15–18 minutes until crispy. Serve hot with your favorite dip.

Notes

You can freeze the coated fish nuggets before cooking and store them for up to one month. Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. These nuggets pair well with fries, salad, or wraps.
