Homemade Fish Sticks

fish salmon

salt

black pepper

Italian seasoning, divided

paprika

bread crumbs

Parmesan cheese, grated

cup all-purpose flour

2 eggs, beaten

cooking oil spray

mayonnaise

lemon juice

dill pickles, finely chopped

Use a paper towel and pat dry each fillet completely dry. Evenly season both sides with salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and paprika. Cut the fish fillet into approximately 3/4-inch wide and 1-inch long pieces.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together breadcrumbs, the remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese until combined. Prepare two shallow plates with flour and beaten eggs.

Dip each fish stick into flour to coat it completely and evenly. Then, dip it into the egg, and then breadcrumb mixture, coating completely and evenly. The flour sticks to the fish, the egg sticks to the flour, and the breadcrumbs stick to the egg. Gently press the breadcrumbs into the fish sticks to adhere them on as much as possible and shake off any excess.

Transfer the breaded fish sticks onto a parchment-lined half sheet baking pan and coat each of the fish sticks evenly with cooking oil spray. This will create a golden brown crust during baking. Bake for 15 minutes until fully cooked through and golden brown.

Serve immediately on its own or with tarter sauce for dipping. To make tartar sauce, combine mayo, lemon juice, pickles, and pepper in a small mixing bowl and stir well to combine.

Homemade Crispy Baked Fish Sticks

panko breadcrumbs

Nonstick olive oil cooking spray

onion powder

garlic powder

cayenne

eggs

milk of choice

¼ pound cod filet

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Pat the fish fillet dry on both sides with a paper towel. Cut the fish into 1 inch thick sticks/strips. They should be about 3 inches long, but this will vary based on your fish filet.

Add panko breadcrumbs to a large baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Spray breadcrumbs with nonstick olive oil cooking spray. Bake for 2 minutes, then stir breadcrumbs (or just give the pan a shake) and then bake for 2-3 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown. Keep heat in the oven.

Transfer breadcrumbs to a medium bowl. Whisk in spices: salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Set aside.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk. Set aside.

Line the large baking sheet with an oven safe wire metal rack. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Dip each fish piece into the egg mixture, then use a tong to grab and toss into the breadcrumb mixture and roll it in completely coat with breadcrumbs. Use tongs to transfer each fish stick to the wire rack, placing about 1 inch apart.

Generously spray the tops of the fish sticks with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through. Serves 4. Serve with tartar sauce, my feta sauce, tahini sauce, tzatziki, ketchup or whatever sauce you’d like! Makes 12-16 fish sticks.

These came out great. Made adjustments based on what we had - small blue gill filets took about 4 minutes total. Thanks!

Prepped and froze to cook later. So easy during the week and delicious!

Pretty darn good! Crunchy and delicious. The sauce was good too!

Made for dinner tonight and it was a huge hit with everyone including 3 year old and 4 year old. 4 year old said I needed to get on my phone and write a review to say it was the best dinner ever. Easy to pull together and a big crowd pleaser.

Grandsons said they’re REALLY good! Better (and healthier) than store bought! Tartar sauce is yummy too! Thanks for another great recipe!!

Air fryer vs Air fryer pan in the oven makes a huge difference. Use the Air fryer if you have it

A new favorite dish in our house. Followed as written and it’s perfection from the fish to the sauce. Crispy, tasty, and fast-enough for a weeknight meal.

Same happened to me. Would make again once I figure out how not to lose the breading.

I made these, the taste was good, crispy, but the breading didnt stick to the fish came off when I flipped them.  help!

This is a light, easy to prepare recipe. I enjoyed it very much

LOVED this recipe! Easy to make and wonderful to eat. My husband loved this and he is not a fish fan. Definitely make again!

I made this exactly as written and it was absolutely delicious. I can’t decide if the fish or the tartar sauce was the star. Just another of your outstanding recipes!
