Ingredients

1 large Asda White Baguette

1 lemon

Good pinch of cayenne

25g Parmesan, grated

1 large egg

2 tbsp olive oil

250g skinned cod fillet (or cod loin)

3 tbsp plain flour

2 level tsp sesame seeds

Salad leaves, to serve

Tomato ketchup, to serve

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Cut an 8cm piece off the baguette, break into small pieces and put in a processor.
2
Grate the zest of half the lemon into the processor.
3
Add the cayenne and whizz until you have fine crumbs. Transfer to a shallow dish and add the Parmesan, stirring until evenly mixed.
4
Lightly beat the egg with the olive oil and put in another shallow dish.
5
Cut the fish into 4 even-sized chunky fingers. Put the flour on a plate and coat the fish in flour, one piece at a time, shaking off any excess.
6
Coat the fish in the egg mixture and then the crumb mixture, patting the crumbs on firmly. Put on a baking tray.
7
Repeat with the remaining fish and place on the baking tray, making sure you leave a gap between each piece. You may have some crumbs left over.
8
Sprinkle on the sesame seeds, then cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
9
Cut 4 pieces from the baguette to the same length as the fish fingers. Split in half and fill with the salad leaves, fish fingers and ketchup.
