Crunchy Baked Fish Sticks With Cucumber Dill Sauce Healthy Recipes

BAKED FISH STICKS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray or brush lightly with oil.
• Cut fish into "sticks" about three inches long by 1/3-inch wide. Sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and set aside.
• Place flour in a shallow dish. Beat eggs in another shallow dish. Mix breadcrumbs, paprika and garlic powder in a third shallow dish. Drizzle oil over the breadcrumb mixture and mash with a fork, continually until the breadcrumbs are evenly moistened.
• Use one hand for dry ingredients and one for wet ingredients while dredging the fish. Dip a strip of fish in the flour mixture, turning to coat completely. Dip into the eggs, coating completely. Press into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat completely. Set on the prepared baking sheet. Continue with the remaining tenders one at a time. Discard any left-over dredging mixtures.
• Transfer the baking sheet of breaded fish into the oven and bake until the fish is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk yogurt and mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Stir in relish, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Serve with the fish sticks.
