Do you ever wonder what's really in those frozen fish sticks? You won't have to when you make them yourself—and these taste better, too. (from Real Simple)
1 lb skinless tilapia fillets or other mild white fish
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
ketchup or tartar sauce for serving
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the fish into strips. Combine the breadcrumbs, olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl.
Gently coat the strips of fish in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down if needed to make it stick. (Toss together a little more breadcrumbs/oil/paprika if needed—the fish should have a nice, thick coating.) Place fish sticks on a large baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until crispy and cooked through. I like to serve lots of buttered broccoli on the side.
*Make a double batch and freeze some for another time. Place the baking sheet with the coated strips into the freezer until the fish is frozen, then transfer sticks to a large ziploc. When ready, bake from frozen for 15-18 minutes.
