Homemade Fish Sticks & Tartar Sauce -

Step 1

1Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Step 2

2Make the tartar sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. (You can also make the tartar sauce while the fish sticks are in the oven, or make it the day before and keep it covered in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.)

Step 3

3Make the fish sticks: Place the flour, ½ teaspoon of the paprika, ½ teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper in a second bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 4

4Put the panko, Parm, remaining ¼ teaspoon paprika and vegetable oil in a shallow bowl and rub with fingers to make sure everything is well combined.

Step 5

5Place the eggs in a fourth bowl and season with paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Whisk to thoroughly combine.

Step 6

6Season the fish all over with a pinch of salt. One at a time, dip the fish into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then the panko-Parm mixture, pressing the panko firmly on all sides to adhere. Brush a foil-lined baking sheet with oil, then arrange the breaded fish on the sheet, leaving space in between so they brown nicely. Bake until crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve with tartar sauce.
