Crispy Fish Fingers

Toss out those boxed fish sticks and make these Crispy Fish Fingers asap! They're super crispy on the outside and moist, flakey and mild in flavor on the inside.These Crispy Fish Fingers live up to their name. They are seriously crispy on the outside, and moist, flakey and mild in flavor on the inside. They’re delicious and nothing like the boxed kind you may have been forced to eat as a child — for starters, they’re made with just a handful of ingredients and therefore a whole lot healthier. Plus, with just a light coating of herb infused mayonnaise for the bread crumbs to grab onto, it’s like having a little tartar sauce baked into every bite.

Ingredients

4 - sole or tilapia filets
½ cup - mayonnaise
1 tsp - oregano
1 tsp - garlic powder
½ tsp - kosher salt
1 cup - breadcrumbs or panko
cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F.
Slice the fish into 1/2 inch x 2 inch strips or fingers.
In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined. Separate the sauce in half and set half aside. *
Place the bread crumbs on a plate. Make an assembly line with 1/2 of the mayonnaise mixture and the breadcrumbs.
Gently roll the fish fingers in the mayonnaise mixture and then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat.
Place the coated fish on a metal rack that has been set on a baking sheet and sprayed with oil. Lightly spray the fish sticks with oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the fish is flaky inside and golden brown outside. **
Use the second 1/2 of the mayonnaise mixture as a dipping sauce for the cooked fish.
