Panko Breaded Fish Nuggets

I’ve been trying to work more fish into our dinner rotation. But some of the recipes out there are not exactly family-friendly.

These panko breaded fish nuggets are perfect for kids of all ages. They’re light and crispy and just the right amount of flavor to please the picky eater and the adult.

The first time I made these, my kids devoured them.

My picky daughter even asked for seconds.

Tips for making this cod nuggets recipe

• Let your kids help! Give them a bag of panko crumbs and let them shake the nuggets.
• If they are old enough, they can even flip the fish inside the pan.
• Make sure to let them cool slightly on paper towels. This will help with excess oil.
• If you don’t have coconut oil, feel free to sub with whatever you have on hand.
