➤Notes:
- You can use any type of white fish for this recipe, but be sure to choose fillets that are of similar thickness for even cooking.
- If you don’t have panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs will work just fine.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs.
- You can also bake the fish fingers instead of frying them for a healthier option. Simply preheat your oven to 400°F, place the coated fish fingers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
➤Storage:
Fish fingers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated 375°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
