Delicious and crispy Baked Fish Sticks made with fresh cod, coated in a seasoned Panko and Parmesan mixture, baked to golden perfection. A healthier alternative to fried fish sticks, perfect for an easy weeknight meal or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Fish and Seasoning

  • 1 pound cod, sliced into strips
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Breading Station

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare it for baking the fish sticks evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Season the cod: Lightly salt and pepper the cod strips to enhance the flavor before breading.
  3. Set up breading stations: Arrange three separate bowls: one with flour, the second with whisked eggs and salt, and the third with a mixture of Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, Old Bay seasoning, and garlic powder.
  4. Bread the fish sticks: Dip each cod strip first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly in the Panko and Parmesan seasoning blend.
  5. Arrange for baking: Place the breaded fish sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced evenly for proper heat circulation.
  6. Bake until golden: Bake the fish sticks in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the fish is cooked through.

Notes

  • Use fresh cod or any firm white fish for best results.
  • For extra crispiness, spray the breaded fish sticks lightly with cooking oil before baking.
  • Serve with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or your favorite dipping sauce.
  • Can be prepared ahead and frozen; bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to cooking time.
  • Ensure fish strips are dry before breading to help the coating adhere better.
