Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound firm white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the fish fillets into sticks, approximately 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the fish sticks, ensuring each piece is well coated. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
In another bowl, pour the unsweetened almond milk.
In a third bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and panko breadcrumbs.
Lightly dredge each fish stick in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip into the almond milk, and finally coat evenly with the seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded fish sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the fish sticks to help them crisp in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the breading is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the fish sticks with your favorite dairy-free dipping sauces and enjoy!
