Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Cod Filet
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Dill
  • 2 Lemons
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 3 cups Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 4 Eggs
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Paprika
  • ¼ cup Dill Pickle

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 450°F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and coat it with cooking spray.
  2. Pat the fish dry and season it with the salt.
  3. Set up three shallow bowls: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and panko mixed with Parmesan, paprika, and garlic powder in the third.
  4. Coat each fish strip in flour, dip it in egg, then press it into the panko mixture. Lay the strips on the rack and mist the tops with cooking spray.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden and the fish flakes easily.
  6. Meanwhile, stir the mayonnaise, pickles, lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, and dill together for the tartar sauce. Serve the fish sticks with the sauce and lemon wedges.
