Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound white fish fillets (like cod or haddock)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or vegan mayonnaise)
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the fish fillets dry and cut them into uniform strips about 1-inch wide.
  3. Set up three shallow dishes: one for flour seasoned with salt and pepper, another for whisked eggs, and the third for panko breadcrumbs mixed with additional seasonings if desired.
  4. Dredge each fish stick in flour, dip it in the egg wash, then coat it thoroughly in breadcrumbs.
  5. Place the breaded fish sticks on the baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
  7. While baking, prepare the tartar sauce by mixing mayonnaise with chopped pickles, lemon juice, dill weed, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  8. Serve hot alongside the tartar sauce for dipping.
