Spicy Oven-Baked Fish Sticks

I had a lengthy intelligence the other twenty-four hours amongst 1 of my brothers.  I told him I was blogging a delicious Spicy Oven-Baked Fish Stick recipe in addition to was really surprised when he was not at all enthusiastic.  Apparently he doesn’t convey fond memories of fish sticks from our childhood.  We fifty-fifty talked well-nigh whether or non the term “fish stick” denotes a negative vibe.   I decided to stay with the name as-is, because y'all can’t alter the fact that they are breaded in addition to baked strips of flaky, mild fish.  We all ate fish sticks more than a few times in addition to I served them to our children too.  But, simply to last clear, these are non similar the frozen boxed fish sticks of our childhood, they convey plenty of spice in addition to a wonderful crunch from the panko breadstuff crumbs.

 

The fish is flaky in addition to moist in addition to piece I thought about making a spicy dipping sauce, they’re simply perfect served amongst a lilliputian ketchup.  I tend to become tardily on the tabular array salt so this recipe is written amongst that inwards mind.  The fish is mild plenty to back upwards a lilliputian dash or 2 of salt so cheque the seasoning inwards the breading earlier coating the fillets.

 

 

I used fresh wild-caught Cod fillets for this recipe but whatever mild flavored, theatre fish would last great.  These would last slap-up served in fish tacos or fifty-fifty equally a fish sandwich.  Did I lift y'all tin laissez passer on the sack freeze the unbaked breaded fish sticks?  Flash freeze some of the fish sticks so seat them inwards an airtight freezer-safe container.  They’ll function on upwards to 3 months in addition to bake to crispy perfection inwards well-nigh 20 minutes.

 

Be certain to cutting the fillets into similar sized pieces for baking.  I used 2 pans, 1 amongst the thicker pieces in addition to some other for the smaller, sparse pieces.  This was a quick in addition to tardily repast in addition to who knows, mayhap you’ll larn to dear fish sticks again!

Pin for later!
