Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 21m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (18-ounce) center-cut salmon fillet, about 9 by 4 inches, skinned
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 egg whites
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Olive oil, for drizzling
1/3 cup reduced fat mayonnaise
1/3 cup lowfat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Rinse the salmon fillet and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the fish in half to make 2 fillets each about 4 by 4 1/2-inches in size. Starting on the longest edge, slice the fillets into 1/2-inch pieces. Lay the widest pieces, from the center, cut side down, and slice in half lengthways so all the pieces are equally about 1/2 by 1/2 by 4 1/2-inches in size.
  • Place the flour in a medium bowl and season with the salt and pepper. Place the egg whites in another bowl and beat until frothy, about 30 seconds. Combine the Parmesan and bread crumbs in a third bowl.
  • Coat the salmon pieces in the seasoned flour and pat to remove any excess flour. Dip the floured salmon in the egg whites and then into the Parmesan mixture, gently pressing the mixture into the fish. Place the breaded salmon pieces on a liberally oiled baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with the olive oil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
  • For the Dipping Sauce:
  • Mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, Dijon mustard, and parsley (or chives, if using) in a small dipping bowl.
  • Arrange the fish sticks on a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce.

PARMESAN FISH STICKS



Parmesan Fish Sticks image

Even kids who are not big fish-eaters tend to like salmon-and they'll like it even better when it's baked in a cheesy crumb coating. Let them do the dipping and crumb coating to speed the work along. The fish sticks can also be dipped in ketchup, marinara sauce, pesto, ranch dressing, or vinaigrette if you prefer.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (18-ounce) skinless center-cut salmon fillet, about 9 by 4 inches
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 egg whites
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Olive oil, for pan and drizzling
1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Rinse the salmon fillet and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the fish in half to make 2 fillets, each about 4 by 4 1/2 inches. Starting on the longer edge, slice each piece into 1/2-inch strips. Cut any very tall strips in half horizontally so all the pieces are about 1/2 by 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches.
  • Place the flour in a medium bowl and season with the salt and pepper. Place the egg whites in another bowl and beat until frothy, about 30 seconds. Combine the Parmesan and bread crumbs in a third bowl.
  • Coat the salmon pieces in the seasoned flour and pat to remove any excess. Dip the floured salmon in the egg whites and then into the bread-crumb mixture, gently pressing the mixture into the fish. Place the breaded salmon on a liberally oiled baking sheet and drizzle lightly with a bit more olive oil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, Dijon mustard, and parsley (or chives, if using) in a small bowl.
  • Arrange the fish sticks on a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality fish. Fresh, flaky fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia are best for fish sticks.
  • Cut the fish into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a light coating on the fish. Too much breading will overwhelm the delicate flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the fish sticks at a high temperature. This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Give the fish sticks plenty of space to cook evenly.
  • Serve the fish sticks with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, ketchup, or remoulade are all popular options.

Conclusion:

Fish sticks are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and they can be served with a variety of dipping sauces and sides. With a few simple tips, you can make delicious fish sticks at home that are even better than the ones you get at a restaurant.
