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!

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the dipping sauce and slaw:
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons country-style Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
6 tablespoons lemon juice, divided (about 2 lemons)
Kosher salt
2 large carrots, peeled
1/2 large celery root, peeled
1/2 cup parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
For the fish sticks:
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
1 pound firm white fish (such as cod), cut into 16 even strips, about 3x1" each
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Grapeseed or other neutral oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce and slaw:
  • Whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, honey, coriander, 3 Tbsp. lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Set aside 3/4 cup for dipping sauce. Using the coarse grater disk on a food processor or the largest holes on a box grater, coarsely shred carrots and celery root. Add carrots, celery root, parsley, and remaining 3 Tbsp. lemon juice to remaining yogurt mixture and toss to combine. Season slaw with salt and pepper.
  • Make the fish sticks:
  • Place eggs, cornstarch, and cornmeal in 3 separate medium bowls. Add Old Bay to cornmeal and stir to combine.
  • Pat fish dry, then season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Working in batches, dredge fish in cornstarch, shaking off excess, then coat with egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl, then coat with cornmeal mixture, pressing to adhere and shaking off excess, and transfer to a plate.
  • Pour oil into a large skillet to a depth of 1/4". Heat oil over medium-high until shimmering, hot, and an instant-read thermometer registers 350°F. Reduce heat to medium and, working in 2 batches, cook fish until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Serve fish sticks with dipping sauce and slaw.
  • Do Ahead
  • Fish sticks can be coated, covered, and chilled up to 2 days ahead, or freeze on a rimmed baking sheet, transfer to re-sealable plastic bags, and store in freezer up to 3 months. Frozen fish sticks don't need to be defrosted, but cook time will be 2 to 3 minutes longer.

CRISPY FISH STICKS



Crispy Fish Sticks image

After experimenting for a while, I came up with the closest recipe in creating the best fish-sticks every-one will love, including picky eaters. Leftover or old bread will also come to good use. However, the speedy-chefs can also use store-bought breadcrumbs, if more convenient for them.

Provided by foodieforlife2

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

100 g all-purpose flour
100 g fine breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 slices bread
2 eggs
4 tilapia fillets, about 4 to 5 oz. each
salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Mix the first 4 ingredients in a shallow plate and set aside.
  • Cut the tilapia fillets in long sticks with a width of about 1 inch. Marinate them in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Store meanwhile in the fridge. Then cover your cutting board with aluminum foil.
  • Cut away the thick crusts of the bread. Then, tear the bread in coarse pieces and fill your food-processor or blender with it. Blend it to medium sized breadcrumbs.
  • Toast your fresh breadcrumbs for 1-2 minutes at 400°F This is necessary to evaporate most of the water.for a better crunchy skin. Remove and let it cool of and toss it a bit with a fork. Dispose it in another shallow plate.
  • Pour a sizable amount of cooking oil in a deep pan, and turn your stove on low heat. Break eggs and whisk in a bowl. Place your marinated fish in front of the board, the flour-mixture next to it. Then follow the eggs and ,the breadcrumbs and finally a bowl of water.
  • Now the real deal begins! Lift a piece of fish with 2 forks and drop it into the flour-mix. Wallow the fish until fully covered and shake any excess flour off. Then transfer to the beaten eggs and do the same. At last, transfer to the plate with breadcrumbs and put away the forks in the bowl of water (dirty part in water). Use your hands to tumble and lightly press around the fish until thoroughly covered in the crumbs. Move the fish-stick to the cutting-board and wipe your forks clean with a piece of paper towel. Repeat likewise for the other fish-sticks.
  • When done, turn up the heat of your stove to high. The sticks have to rest for about 15 minutes, to get the crust set (otherwise you'll end up with a disaster). So. meanwhile you could clean up the counter in advance.
  • The easiest last step: deep-fry the fish-sticks in about 5 minutes to a nice golden-brown colour. Serve with your favourite sauce!

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons finely chopped cornichons or dill pickles plus 1 tablespoon pickle juice from jar
1 1/4 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1 large egg
1 1/2 pounds 3/4-inch-thick halibut fillets, cut into 3 x 3/4-inch strips
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Steps:

  • Mix first 5 ingredients in bowl. Season with pepper. Cover and chill tartar sauce.
  • Spread panko on plate. Whisk egg in small bowl. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Working in batches, coat fish in egg. Coat in panko; shake off excess.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add half of fish and cook, turning often, until fish is opaque in center and golden on all sides, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to 2 plates; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil and fish. Spoon tartar sauce alongside.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish. White fish, such as cod, haddock, and tilapia, are all good choices for fish sticks. They are mild in flavor and have a firm texture that holds up well to frying.
  • Cut the fish into even strips. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the fish with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Dip the fish strips in beaten egg. This will help the breading adhere to the fish.
  • Coat the fish strips in bread crumbs. You can use plain bread crumbs, or you can add some flavorings, such as Parmesan cheese, herbs, or spices.
  • Fry the fish sticks in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the fish sticks with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, ketchup, and ranch dressing are all popular choices.
