Cut the fish into approximately 2cm strips and pat dry.

Then dip the fish in the egg, followed by the almond mixture.

Arrange the coated fish on the baking tray, before cooking in the oven for 6-10 minutes.

In the meantime, mix together the salsa ingredients and set aside.

Once the fish is cooked through and crispy on the outside, remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
