Instructions: Goujon is the French word for small, fried strips of fish, and apparently sole is the most popular catch for this preparation.

Cornichon is also a French word, but is in a little more common usage among English speakers. Cornichons are pickled gherkin cucumbers. In France, these tart pickles are classically served with pates and smoked meats. In other countries, they are apparently served with small, fried strips of fish.

Cut the fillets into strips. Preheat the oven to 425F. Stir the bread crumbs and tarragon together until thoroughly mixed. Dip the fish strips into the egg then bread crumb mixture and continue until all the bread crumbs have been used up. Place on a greased baking sheet and cook in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

For the sauce, roughly chop the capers and cornichons and stir into the mayonnaise. Season to taste and serve with the crispy goujons. serves 4
