INGREDIENTS:
- 1½ pounds white fish (i.e. walleye, cod, tilapia, etc.) - skin removed and cut into strips
- 1 egg
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1½ teaspoons salt (divided)
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- zest of one lemon
Tartar Sauce:
- ½ cup plain yogurt - low fat
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickle
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Pre-heat oven to 475 degrees. Spray a foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
- Set out two shallow glass dishes (pie plates work well). In the first dish, whisk one egg until light and fluffy.
- Combine panko, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper and lemon zest in the second dish.
- Sprinkle both sides of the fish strips with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Dip fish in egg then coat evenly with panko mixture. Place on lined baking sheet and continue until all fish is coated in panko.
- Spray fish sticks with cooking spray then bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Make the tartar sauce while fish is baking by combining all ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerating until you're ready to serve.
