Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock) Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs Can substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free
  • 1/2 cup flour For dredging
  • 2 large eggs Beaten for dredging
  • 1 teaspoon paprika For flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For flavor
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • as needed Cooking spray or olive oil For greasing the baking sheet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cut the fish fillets into thick sticks, about 1 inch wide. Set aside.
  3. Prepare a dredging station: In one dish, place the flour; in a second dish, beat the eggs; and in a third dish, mix the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Coat each fish stick in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and roll in the breadcrumb mixture.
  2. Place the coated fish sticks on a lightly greased baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
  3. Spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil, then bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For substitutions, consider using whole wheat breadcrumbs or gluten-free alternatives. To store, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze cooked sticks for up to 1 month. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes.
