Recipe: Easy Cod Goujons and Chips

Happy national fish and chip day!

Una Kavanagh

It’s the fifth annual ITICA National Fish and Chips Day today and what better way to celebrate the tasty goodness of these two delicious foods than a recipe that you can make at home.

We’re big fans of white fish here in office and when it comes to picking our favourite, cod is pretty high on the list.

Here’s a great recipe for cod goujons and chips that are so easy to make and are mouthwateringly wonderful.

Ingredients:

  • 100g fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Four skinless cod fillets cut into 1cm-thick long strips
  • 50g of plain flour
  • Two eggs beaten
  • Three tablespoons of mayonnaise
  • A squeeze lemon juice to taste
  • Salad leaves to serve

Method:

  1. Mix the breadcrumbs with the cayenne pepper. Season the fish then coat a few pieces at a time in the flour, then the beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs.
  2. Lightly oil a non-stick baking tray. Spread the goujons out on the tray and grill for 2-3 minutes each side, until crisp, golden and cooked through.
  3. Mix the lemon juice into the mayonnaise, season and serve with the goujons and some salad leaves.
