To make the Parmesan Fish Fingers, all you need is egg, grated parmesan, chopped parsley, packaged breadcrumbs, and boneless fish fillets. It is a quick and easy dish to make and is healthy enough as is provides the child with nutrients.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp finely grated parmesan
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
  • ¾ cup (75g) packaged breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 300g boneless fish fillets, cut into strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Step by step

  • Combine parmesan, parsley and breadcrumbs in a medium freezer bag; shake to combine.

  • Whisk egg with a fork in a small bowl; dip fish in egg, allowing excess egg to drip away; place in bag with breadcrumbs to coat; repeat with remaining fish.

  • Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium high heat; add fish, cook 2-3 minutes per side or until crumbs are golden and fish is cooked through.

    TIP

    - Uncooked crumbed fish can be frozen for up to 1 month. Simply wrap fish in plastic film then place in a freezer bag; remove excess air from bag and seal with tape; label and freeze.
    - For a family meal, simply double the quantity of ingredients to feed a family of four.
    - Even when fish fillets are labelled ‘boneless’, take care when feeding fish to toddler. When cutting fish into pieces, feel for any bones with your fingertips.
