2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pound cod fillet, cut into 1/2-inch thick sticks
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish, beat together the eggs and milk. Pour the bread crumbs and flour onto 2 separate plates. Sprinkle fish sticks with salt and pepper.

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.

CRISPY HOMEMADE FISH STICKS RECIPE



Crispy Homemade Fish Sticks Recipe image

Easy homemade fish sticks that are perfectly tender on the inside, crispy on the outside. And you'll love how flavorful they are, thanks to a little seasoning and the Parmesan crust! You can make these with a white firm fish or even with salmon for a little more Omega-3! Be sure to watch my video.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Fish and Seafood

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lb firm fish fillet such as salmon, skin removed (You can use a firm white fish fillet like cod)
Salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 cup flour (all-purpose, whole wheat or gluten free flour)
1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water (egg wash)
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan
Extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Greek EVOO)
Zest of 1 lemon and juice of 1/2 lemon to finish
Parsley for garnish
Tahini sauce or Tzatziki sauce

Steps:

  • Heat your oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Pat fish fillet dry and season with kosher salt on both sides. Cut the fish fillet into pieces or sticks (1 to 1 1/2-inch thick and about 3-inch long).
  • In a small bowl, combine black pepper, dried oregano, and paprika. Season fish sticks on both sides with the spice mixture.
  • Make a dredging station. Place flour in a shallow dish. Place the egg wash in a deeper dish or bowl next to the flour dish. And in another dish, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan and lemon zest. Place next to the dish with the egg wash.
  • Now coat the fish. Take a fish stick and dip it in the flour to coat both sides; shake excess flour off. Then dip the fish stick in the egg wash, and then in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture. Pat to help the coating adhere to the fish stick. Repeat until all the fish sticks have been coated.
  • Arrange coated fish sticks on an oiled baking sheet. Brush the tops of the fish sticks with a little extra virgin olive oil (you'll want to basically dab the salmon fish sticks with the oil so that you don't end up removing the coating).
  • Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the heated oven. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes. If the fish sticks need more color still, place them under the broiler very briefly (watch carefully) until fish sticks gain a nice golden brown color.
  • Finish with lemon zest and fresh lemon juice. Garnish with parsley.
  • Serve with your favorite sauce for dipping. I used tahini sauce here, but tzatziki sauce would be great as well. Add a big salad and call it dinner (I especially like Mediterranean white bean salad or Greek salad with these salmon fish sticks

There are several versions of this recipe, this is how I make it. My nephews LOVE it!

FISH STICKS A.K.A. COD FINGERS



Fish Sticks a.k.a. Cod Fingers image

Homemade fish sticks get an upgrade with fresh cod and a crispy panko breadcrumb coating. Rather than choke down the freezer-burnt after-school snack of my youth, I decided to fix the fish stick. Except my version is different in that it's actually tasty. I don't have to explain the significance of this dish to fellow Whovians, who remember well the first meal of the regenerated 11th Doctor. Though I guarantee you don't have to have two hearts and live in a blue box to enjoy this classic English dish. This recipe first appeared on Good Eats: Reloaded Season 1.

Provided by Kate Itrich-Williams

Categories     Mains

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound cod fillets
1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs, divided
3 large eggs, divided
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart peanut oil

Steps:

  • Place the fish fillets in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes, then finely chop. (If you bought them frozen, thaw for half an hour at room temp before cutting.)
  • Place the fish in a bowl along with 1/4 cup of the panko, 1 of the eggs, and the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Use your hands or a large spoon to combine.
  • Shape the fish mixture into 1 1/2-ounce finger-shaped sticks. Set on a sheet pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Meanwhile, beat the remaining 2 eggs in a shallow pie pan. Place the remaining cup of panko in a second pie pan and the flour in a third.
  • When the fish sticks are firm, roll each stick in the flour, then egg, followed by the panko and place back on the sheet pan. (If you're not ready to cook, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.)
  • Place the oil in in the Dutch oven, attach a thermometer and bring to 350°F over medium-high heat. Line a half sheet pan with paper towels, then place a wire cooling rack upside-down on the paper towels.
  • Fry half of the fish sticks until golden brown and they register 145°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 minutes. Using a spider, transfer to the prepared rack. Repeat with the remaining fish sticks. Serve hot with your favorite tartar sauce.

BAKED FISH STICKS



Baked Fish Sticks image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 pound firm-flesh white fish, such as cod, sliced into sticks about 1 inch by 3 inches
1/2 cup whole grain pastry flour (or white whole wheat flour)
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
2 slices whole grain bread (or sub 1 cup whole grain breadcrumbs)
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional; if kids don't freak out)
1 large egg
Olive oil, in a spray bottle or mister (or nonstick vegetable spray)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Salt and pepper the fish sticks. Place the flour on a rimmed plate and season with the garlic, mixing with a fork, and set aside.
  • Place the bread and herbs (if using) in a food processor and pulse until uniform, but not too small. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow baking dish or rimmed plate and set aside.
  • Whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl. Dredge a piece of fish in the flour, gently shake off excess, and then dip the fish in the egg mixture, then the breadcrumbs, gently pressing into the crumbs. Repeat with the remaining pieces of fish.
  • Place a metal cooling rack on top of a baking sheet, and mist with olive oil. Place the fish sticks on the rack and bake until the fish is cooked through, about 12 minutes. (For even browning, you can turn the fish over halfway through cooking time and spray the second side with olive oil.)

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality fish: Opt for fish fillets that are fresh, firm, and have a mild odor. Look for fillets that are free of bones and skin.
  • Use a light breading: A thick breading can overpower the delicate flavor of the fish. Use a simple breading made with flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
  • Fry the fish sticks in hot oil: This will help to create a crispy outer coating while keeping the inside of the fish moist and tender.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the fish sticks, make sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can cook evenly.
  • Serve the fish sticks with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include tartar sauce, ketchup, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Fish sticks are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect fish sticks at home that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Whether you serve them as an appetizer, main course, or snack, fish sticks are sure to be a hit!
