OVEN-BAKED FISH STICKS WITH EASY TARTAR SAUCE (KID-FRIENDLY)



Oven-Baked Fish Sticks With Easy Tartar Sauce (Kid-Friendly) image

Although cod is stated in the ingredients this recipe will work good using tilapia or white fish fillets. This will serve about 3 people, but can be easily doubled. The already crushed cornflake crumbs that you purchase in a small box will not work as well for this recipe, the texture is too fine and the fish sticks will not be as crispy, try to use regular cornflakes cereal and grind them in your processor. You can double the tartar sauce recipe if you prefer more sauce, try to make the sauce even up to a day ahead to blend flavors. This is a great recipe for kids of all ages LOL!
