Fish Sticks Recipe

Prep the Fish:
1 Pat the cod fish dry with paper towels and cut into small strips or nuggets. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Set up your breading station: 
2 Set up three shallow bowls to create your breading station. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, lightly beat the eggs until smooth. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings throughout the breadcrumbs.
Bread the fish:
3 Dip each piece of fish into the flour, making sure to shake off the excess, then into the egg, and finally coat with the seasoned panko. Press gently to make sure the crumbs stick.
Cook:
13 You can bake, pan-fry, or air-fry these depending on your preference.

10 To air-fry: Air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
11 To pan-fry: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook fish sticks 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
