📝 Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs cod (cut in 1 inch sticks)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 cup flour (all-purpose or gluten-free)

• Tartar sauce (for serving)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2. 2Add panko breadcrumbs to a parchment lined large baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Bake for 2 -3 minutes, then stir breadcrumbs and then bake for 2-3 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown. (Watch them closely so they don’t burn.) Immediately, remove breadcrumbs from the oven and the sheet. Add freshly grated parmesan cheese to the panko breadcrumbs.
3. 3Season fish pieces with salt, pepper, paprika, onion, and garlic powder.
4. 4Dip each fish stick in flour first, then egg mixture, and lastly breadcrumbs/parmesan mixture. Coat evenly, shake off excess. Set them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat with all fish pieces.
5. 5Bake fish sticks for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with chopped fresh parsley, a drizzle of lemon juice and tartar sauce.
