Ingredients
1 lb of firm white fish (such as cod or tilapia), cut into 1-inch wide strips
1 cup of panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
2 large eggs
1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly greasing it with cooking spray or a brush of olive oil.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Break the eggs into a separate bowl and beat them until frothy.
Spread the flour out on a plate.
Working in batches, dredge the fish strips in the flour, shake off any excess, then dip them in the egg mixture, and finally coat them in the breadcrumb mixture.
Arrange the coated fish strips on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not touch each other.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the coating is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork. For even crispiness, turn the fish sticks halfway through baking.
