Baked Fish Sticks with Tartar Sauce

By cwyorkiex3

Ingredients

• 1 lb white fish such as cod, halibut, or tilapia
• 1 Tbs canola oil
• 1-2 eggs
• 6 Tbs flour
• 1 tsp seasoned salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 C panko bread crumbs
• 1/2 C unseasoned breadcrumbs
• Tartar Sauce
• 1/2 C mayonaise
• 2 Tbs sour cream
• 1/4 tsp dried dill
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley
• 1/2 Tbs finely minced onion
• 1 T minced dill pickle
• 1 pinch seasoned salt
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Tartar Sauce: Mix all tartar sauce ingredients and stir well to combine. Chill for at least one hour before serving. (The longer the better, make ahead if you can!)

Fish Sticks: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Brush canola oil on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.

Crack egg(s) into a shallow dish and beat lightly (start with one egg and crack another if you run out). In a separate shallow dish combine flour, seasoned salt, pepper, and paprika. In one more shallow dish combine panko and bread crumbs.

Cut fish into sticks about 3-4 inches long and 1/2-1 inch tall.

Working with a few pieces of fish at at time, dredge first in flour and then shake off excess. Then dip each piece in the beaten egg, and finally the bread crumb mixture. Make sure all sides are well coated with bread crumbs and then place fish on the baking sheet.

When all pieces are on baking sheet, place in oven and cook for about 10 minutes. Cool for a few minutes and then serve with tartar sauce for dipping.
