Instructions
To make the jenga chips:

To make the fish:

- Next, whisk the eggs really well on a large plate.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides before dipping them into the egg mixture until full coated. Once the salmon is covered with the egg mixture, carefully roll the salmon fillets around in the breadcrumbs one by one until fully coated. Place on a parchment lined tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Season the skin with a pinch of salt and griddle until nice and crispy on a medium heat for around 3 minutes each side.
