Arrange a rack in near the top of the oven. Set the temperature at 220C (200C Fan/Gas 7).
- Mix together the panko, thyme, garlic and ½ teaspoon of pepper.
- Place a large frying pan on the hob and warm, over a medium heat, 2 Tablespoons of oil.
Stir in the panko and herb mix and stir frequently until golden brown, this may take 5 minutes.
Drain well and transfer to a shallow bowl lined with kitchen roll. - In a second dish, whisk together the mustard and eggs and put the flour into a third shallow bowl.
- Grease an oven-safe wire rack with oil and place it over rimmed baking sheet and put aside.
- Season your fish with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper.
Make sure each piece of fish is well coated at each of the next stages before moving on.
First coat the fish in the flour; then dip it into the egg and mustard mixture; and finally cover
in the fried panko breadcrumbs. Place the coated fish onto the wire rack. - Put the fish into the oven and bake until it is flaky and golden, about 10 – 15 minutes.
- Salt fish after removing from oven.
