Instructions
Prepare the Fish
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a wire rack sprayed with cooking spray. Cut the fish fillets into sticks about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
Set Up Breading Stations
Place the flour seasoned with salt and onion powder in one shallow dish, the whisked eggs in a second dish, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third dish. This three step breading process creates the crunchiest coating.
Bread Each Fish Stick
Working one at a time, dredge each fish stick in flour and shake off the excess, dip in the egg, then firmly press into the panko on all sides. Place on the wire rack and spray the tops lightly with olive oil spray.
Bake to Crispy Perfection
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the coating is deep golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve hot with tartar sauce, ketchup, or malt vinegar.
