Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 grams Breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Slice the fillets into even strips about 2.5 cm (1 inch) wide.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, add the flour. In the second dish, whisk the eggs. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each fish strip in the flour, coating it evenly and shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, and then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Place the breaded fish sticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the fish sticks with cooking spray or brush them with a small amount of oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the fish sticks are golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Serve the crispy fish sticks warm with your choice of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, ketchup, or lemon aioli.
