Baked Fish Sticks
Delicious homemade fish sticks that are crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, perfect for a nostalgic meal.
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.
