Ingredients
- 1 pound tilapia (or cod or any other firm, white fish)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 3 clove garlic, pressed
- 1 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
- 1 pinch salt(optional)
- 1 pinch pepper(optional)
- marinara sauce(optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2
Cut the fish into 1/2-inch strips and sprinkle a little salt on both sides.
Step 3
In a small shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and pressed garlic. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4
Dip the fish sticks into the wet mixture, letting excess liquid drip off, then coat them thoroughly in the bread crumb mixture. Lay the coated fish sticks on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining fish.
Step 5
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. If you want them golden brown, broil them for the last minute of baking time.
Step 6
Serve the Parmesan-Garlic Tilapia Sticks with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
