Oyster Cracker Crusted Fish Sticks Recipes

RANCH OYSTER CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine the dressing mix, dill weed, vegetable oil, lemon pepper, and garlic powder. Add oyster crackers, and toss to coat. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring gently after 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to cool before serving.

BAKED PARMESAN FISH STICKS

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F. Brush a baking sheet with olive oil; set aside. Cut the cod crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick pieces (about 16). Season generously with salt.
• Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the panko and cook, tossing, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a shallow dish and let cool completely.
• Add the parmesan to the panko. Spread the flour in a separate shallow dish. Lightly beat the egg whites in a third shallow dish.
• Dredge the fish in the flour, then dip in the beaten egg whites, letting the excess drip off, then dip in the panko mixture, patting to adhere. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crisp, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve with warm marinara sauce.

HOMEMADE FROZEN FISH STICKS

Steps:

• For the fish sticks: Cut the fish into sticks about 3 inches long and 1/2-inch thick. Combine the breadcrumbs, coconut, cornmeal, curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the coconut is coarsely chopped. Dump out into a shallow dish. Whisk the egg white with 1 tablespoon water in another shallow dish.
• Dip the fish into the egg white, shake off the excess and coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Bake immediately, or refrigerate up to 1 hour before baking. To freeze, arrange the breaded fish sticks on a baking sheet and freeze until hard, 1 to 2 hours. Store in re-sealable freezer bags for up to 1 month.
• For the sauce: Combine the yogurt, carrot, 1 tablespoon water, sweet chile sauce, soy sauce, scallions, lime juice and salt to taste. Wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Fit a rimmed baking sheet with a baking rack and spray with cooking spray. Generously spray the fresh or frozen fish sticks all over with cooking spray. Arrange on the baking rack and bake, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes (if frozen, 20 to 25 minutes). Remove from the oven and season with salt. Serve with the dipping sauce.
