Categories     Fish     Bake     Low Fat     Kid-Friendly     Dinner     Healthy

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon 2% reduced-fat milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 pound halibut fillets, cut into 20 (1-inch) strips
1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
3/8 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
3/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1/4 cup light sour cream
3 tablespoons canola mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely chopped bread-and-butter pickles
2 teaspoons minced capers

Steps:

  • Combine milk and eggs in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Add fish, and toss gently to coat. Place panko, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large zip-top bag. Add fish to panko mixture; seal bag. Shake bag gently to coat fish. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add half of fish; cook 4 minutes or until done, turning occasionally to brown all sides. Repeat procedure with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and remaining fish. Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, pickles, capers, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Serve sauce with fish.

Tips:

  • Choose a firm-fleshed fish for best results, such as cod, haddock, or tilapia.
  • Soak the fish in milk or buttermilk before coating it in the panko crumbs. This will help the crumbs to adhere better and give the fish a more tender texture.
  • Use a combination of panko crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese for a crispy and flavorful coating.
  • Season the panko crumbs with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices for extra flavor.
  • Be sure to coat the fish evenly in the panko crumbs. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan and will also ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Shallow-fry the fish in hot oil until it is golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the fish sticks with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, ketchup, or ranch dressing.
