Bake 10-12 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, turning once.

CRISPY HOMEMADE FISH STICKS RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 450 degrees F.
• Pat fish fillet dry and season with kosher salt on both sides. Cut the fish fillet into pieces or sticks (1 to 1 1/2-inch thick and about 3-inch long).
• In a small bowl, combine black pepper, dried oregano, and paprika. Season fish sticks on both sides with the spice mixture.
• Make a dredging station. Place flour in a shallow dish. Place the egg wash in a deeper dish or bowl next to the flour dish. And in another dish, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan and lemon zest. Place next to the dish with the egg wash.
• Now coat the fish. Take a fish stick and dip it in the flour to coat both sides; shake excess flour off. Then dip the fish stick in the egg wash, and then in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture. Pat to help the coating adhere to the fish stick. Repeat until all the fish sticks have been coated.
• Arrange coated fish sticks on an oiled baking sheet. Brush the tops of the fish sticks with a little extra virgin olive oil (you'll want to basically dab the salmon fish sticks with the oil so that you don't end up removing the coating).
• Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the heated oven. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes. If the fish sticks need more color still, place them under the broiler very briefly (watch carefully) until fish sticks gain a nice golden brown color.
• Finish with lemon zest and fresh lemon juice. Garnish with parsley.
• Serve with your favorite sauce for dipping. I used tahini sauce here, but tzatziki sauce would be great as well. Add a big salad and call it dinner (I especially like Mediterranean white bean salad or Greek salad with these salmon fish sticks

Steps:

• PREP: Cut fillets into 1/2-inch strips and season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Set aside. Place flour in shallow pan, set aside. Place eggwash into another shallow pan and set that aside. Mix breadcrumbs (or panko) and optional almonds and place into yet another shallow pan.
• Dredge strips of cod in flour shaking off excess. Dip next in eggwash and then in the bread crumb mixture, pressing down lightly into breading to coat. Set coated fish on waxed paper-lined sheet pan.
• In a large skillet heat butter and oil over moderate heat. Carefully add the coated fish strips and cook about 2-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Do in batches if necessary. Transfer fish strips to paper towels to drain.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 F.
• Add panko breadcrumbs to a parchment lined large baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Bake for 2 -3 minutes, then stir breadcrumbs and then bake for 2-3 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown. (Watch them closely so they don't burn.) Immediately, remove breadcrumbs from the oven and the sheet. Add freshly grated parmesan cheese to the panko breadcrumbs.
• Season fish pieces with salt, pepper, paprika, onion, and garlic powder.
• Dip each fish stick in flour first, then egg mixture, and lastly breadcrumbs/parmesan mixture. Coat evenly, shake off excess. Set them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat with all fish pieces.
• Bake fish sticks for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with chopped fresh parsley, a drizzle of lemon juice and tartar sauce.
