Ingredients

  • 90g California walnuts, toasted 
  • Small bunch of parsley  
  • Finely-grated zest of 1 lemon 
  • 40g panko bread crumbs 
  • A pinch black pepper  
  • 4 level tbsp light mayonnaise  
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard 
  • 1/2 tbsp water  
  • 300g plaice, skinned and cut into fingers  
  • Rapeseed oil spray
  • Baby spinach leaves and lemon wedges to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. 
  2. Place the walnuts, parsley and lemon zest into a food processor and blitz to a fine crumb. Mix with the panko bread crumbs and  pepper, and place on a dinner plate. 
  3. Mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon, then loosen with the water to form a good dipping consistency.  
  4. Dip the plaice fingers into the mayonnaise mix and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
  5. Place on a flat baking tray lined with parchment which has been spritzed with 4-5 sprays of rapeseed oil. Drizzle the goujons with a little oil and place in the oven for 15- 20 minutes (or until cooked through and crispy golden on the outside). 
  6. Serve on a bed of baby spinach with lemon wedges to the side.
