Ingredients
  

For the Fish Sticks

  • 1 pound Cod (sliced into strips) If cod is not available, substitute with haddock or salmon.
  • 1/2 cup Flour Can be substituted with a gluten-free blend.
  • 2 Large Eggs Acts as the glue for the breadcrumbs.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Extra pinch for egg mixture.
  • 1 cup Panko Essential for a crispy texture.
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Adds savory depth.
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning Adds a special hint of spice.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder Optional ingredient.
  • Salt and Pepper For seasoning the cod.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Slice the cod fillet into strips, about 1-inch wide, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, whisk eggs in another, and mix Panko, Parmesan, Old Bay seasoning, and garlic powder in a third.

Breading and Baking

  • Dip each cod strip into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the Panko mixture, pressing down gently.
  • Lay the breaded fish sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet with some space between them.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. To reheat, place in the oven at 375°F (190°C) until heated through.
