Panko Crusted Fish Sticks With Herb Dipping Sauce

Submitted by EnjoyingLife

"This recipe is from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food. The fish sticks are crispy without being fried and the dipping sauce is unusual and delicious."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 11

ingredients

• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• coarse salt and pepper
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1⁄2 lbs tilapia fillets, cut into wide strips (see note, above)
• 1⁄2 cup light mayonnaise
• 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
• 2 teaspoons prepared white horseradish

directions

1. To make fish sticks, cut tilapia fillets in half lengthwise down center line. Halve again lengthwise, then crosswise.
2. 1. Preheat oven to 475, with racks in top and bottom third. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil; set aside.
3. 2. Place egg in a wide shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, combine panko, Old Bay, and oil. Dip tilapia into egg, shaking off excess, then into panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Place on prepared baking sheets.
4. 3. Bake until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating sheets from top to bottom halfway through. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, and horseradish; season with salt and pepper. Serve fish sticks with sauce and lemon wedges on the side.

Love Love Love this recipe for it's simplicity and taste. The kids are pretty picky with their fish and this one passed with flying colors. The dipping sauce is great too!

Delicious. I added a little more Old Bay to kick it up a bit. The dipping sauce has a great flavor. I made it and tartar and no one bothered with the tarter. Highly recommend. It's eacy and yummy.
