Fish Sticks Recipe (Baked)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F, cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray the foil with nonstick spray. Spray a metal rack and place it over the baking sheet. Set aside.

Step 2

Lightly salt and pepper the fish.

Step 3

Set out 3 shallow bowls to create a dredging station.

Step 4

In the first shallow bowl, whisk the flour and paprika together.

Step 5

In the second bowl, whisk the eggs and Dijon mustard together.

Step 6

In the third bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs and the seasoned breadcrumbs.

Step 7

For the dredging process, press a fish stick in the flour, making sure to cover all sides and shake off the excess.

Step 8

Then, dredge the fish stick in the egg mixture and let the excess drip off. Now, press the fish in the breadcrumb mixture, patting to help the coating adhere.

Step 9

Place the coated fish stick on the prepared rack/baking sheet and repeat the process with the remaining fish sticks.

Step 10

Spritz the fish with olive oil or butter-flavored cooking spray.

Step 11

Place the fish in the oven and bake 6 minutes. Turn the fish sticks over and spray with oil or cooking spray.

Step 12

Bake another 6-10 minutes or until the fish begins to flake easily with a fork.

Step 13

Transfer cooked fish to a serving tray and serve immediately with Homemade Tartar Sauce or other favorite sauce.
