Fish Nuggets! I will never use frozen again!

A definite hit in this household!  I will never serve frozen fish nuggets again!  So surprised at how easy to assemble and how moist and yet crispy they were.  Even though sitting in oven 15 mins while waiting for company to arrive!  Do not take my word; this was a comment shared by both young and old!  This dish has become a staple in my household and hopefully in yours.

1 T chopped fresh thyme

1/2 t salt
