Description
Delicious crispy oven-fried fish bites served with a homemade tartar sauce, perfect for any mealtime.
Ingredients
- 1 pound cod or halibut fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon creole seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- Non-stick canola oil spray
- 1/2 cup mayo (for tartar sauce)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons sweet relish
- 2 tablespoons dill relish
- 1/2 teaspoon creole seasoning (for tartar sauce)
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the tartar sauce by combining mayo, sour cream, sweet relish, dill relish, creole seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside in the fridge.
- Season the panko breadcrumbs with salt and black pepper. Spread the seasoned flour on one plate and the panko on another.
- Dip each fish piece into the seasoned flour, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess flour, then dip the fish into the milk and egg mixture.
- Roll the coated fish in the panko breadcrumbs until fully covered. Place the breaded fish pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly spray the fish with non-stick canola oil spray for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Serve hot with a side of homemade tartar sauce and wedges of fresh lemon.
Notes
For extra crunch, consider double dipping your fish. Ensure fish pieces are dry before breading to avoid sogginess.
