Homemade Fish Sticks

Yummy! I don't think I will be buying the frozen kind ever again. These were so much healthier and not to mention more delicious then the frozen brands. Obviously these aren't at quick as just pulling something out of the freezer and popping it on a tray, but you cut the fish ahead of time (possibly even bread it too) and cut the prep time down at meal time. I used both salmon and cod. I loved the salmon - it makes them a little more grown-up. The rest of the family loved the cod.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

18 oz fresh or frozen fish (ex. cod or salmon), thaw frozen fish

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 tsp Kosher salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

4 egg whites

1 cup grated Parmesan

1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp paprika

Cooking spray

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450.

Rinse the fish and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the filet down to sticks - 1/2 in by 1/2 in by 4 1/2 inches.

In separate shallow bowls, first combine flour, salt and pepper; then egg whites beaten until foamy; and panko, parmesan, paprika, garlic and onion powder. Coat each fish stick in flour, then egg and then panko mixture. 

Line the coated fish sticks up on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spray the sticks liberally. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Enjoy!
