Ingredients
Scale
For Coating
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- Salt to taste
- Ground Black Pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
For Dipping
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 cup Milk
Main Ingredient
- 4 Fish Fillets
- 2 cups Corn Flakes, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare Coating Mixtures: In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In a third bowl, crush the corn flakes into small pieces for the crunchy coating.
- Coat the Fish Pieces: Cut the fish fillets into small, bite-sized pieces. Dip each piece first into the flour mixture, then into the egg and milk mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the crushed corn flakes. Place the coated fish pieces onto a separate dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to help the coating set.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit) to get it ready for baking the fish nuggets.
- Bake the Nuggets: Line a baking dish with parchment paper and arrange the coated fish pieces on it. Lightly spray or brush them with oil to help crisp up and brown the coating during baking. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, until the nuggets turn golden and are cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the fish nuggets from the oven, let them cool slightly, then serve immediately for a delicious, crispy treat.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the nuggets for the last 2-3 minutes, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Use firm white fish fillets like cod, haddock, or pollock for best results.
- If you prefer, substitute crushed corn flakes with panko breadcrumbs for a different texture.
- Serve with tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauces for added flavor.
