    # INGREDIENTS:

    1. Fish Fillets (Boneless Baramundi, Basa, or Tilapia)
    2. Lemon Juice 1 tbsp
    3. Salt to taste
    4. Black Pepper Powder 1/2 tsp
    5. Red Chili Powder 1/2 tsp
    6. All-purpose Flour 1/2 cup
    7. Water 1/2 cup
    8. Panko Breadcrumbs 1 cup
    9. Cornflakes 1/2 cup (lightly crushed)
    10. Oil as needed for frying

    METHOD:

    Serving size: 5-6

    Slice the fish fillets into 1-1.5 cm. wide and 6-8 cm. long strips (finger-sized). Toss the fish fillets gently with salt, lemon juice, chili powder, and black pepper. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes. Combine flour, water, salt, black pepper and red chili powder to make a smooth slurry. Mix breadcrumbs and cornflakes in a plate. Dust each fish fillet lightly with dry flour (optional, but it helps the coating stick).  Dip into the slurry and roll in the panko-cornflakes mixture. Press gently so the coating adheres well. Let the breaded fish fingers rest in the fridge for 15-30 minutes. Shallow-fry or deep-fry the fish fingers on medium heat in batches until golden and cooked through.  You can bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees C for 15-20 minutes, turning once until crisp and golden.  Enjoy hot with lemon wedges and your choice of either garlic mayo, tartar sauce, sweet chili sauce, or ketchup.
