Name: Parmesan Fish Sticks
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 1/3 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 2 large eggs; 1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs; 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese; 2 tablespoons garlic-herb seasoning blend; 1 pound tilapia fillets; Cooking spray

I wanted a healthier approach to fish sticks and developed a baked tilapia with a slightly peppery bite. My husband and sons love the crispy coating. —Candy Summerhill, Alexander, Arkansas

Ingredients

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons garlic-herb seasoning blend
1 pound tilapia fillets
Cooking spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt and pepper. In another bowl, whisk eggs. In a third bowl, toss bread crumbs with cheese and seasoning blend.
Cut fillets into 1-in.-wide strips. Dip fish in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in eggs, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
Place on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spritz tops with cooking spray until crumbs appear moistened. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and fish just begins to flake easily with a fork.

My husband loved it and I thought it was pretty good, but spicy. I'm guessing that must have been because the only garlic-herb seasoning I could find was Zatarain's and perhaps it had other spices in it.
