Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 44m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 cups buttermilk
1 pound whitefish or other mild fish, cut into strips, each about 3-inches long and 1/2-inch thick
1 1/4 cups finely grated Parmesan
3/4 cup Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Olive oil, for drizzling
2 cups marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet liberally with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Put the buttermilk into a large bowl. Add the fish strips, stir to coat, and let stand for 15 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the Parmesan, bread crumbs and salt. Remove the fish from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl, and dredge in the bread crumb mixture to coat completely, pressing to adhere. Arrange the coated fish in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and bake until golden and crispy, about 14 minutes. Cool slightly and arrange on a serving platter.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over medium-heat until warm. Transfer to a small serving bowl. Serve the marinara alongside the fish sticks as a dipping sauce.

FISH STICKS WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 41m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1-pound piece boneless, skinless cod and/or boneless chicken strips*
2 cups panko (Japanese coarse bread crumbs)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus for seasoning
3 large eggs
Freshly ground black pepper
Corn oil, for frying
Tartar Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
Freshly squeezed juice from 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)

Steps:

  • Prepare a paper towel-lined baking pan and set aside. Cut each fillet into 1-inch strips. Toss the panko, flour, and 2 teaspoons salt in 1 shallow bowl or pie plate, and beat the eggs lightly in another.
  • Heat about 1/4-inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fish all over with salt and pepper, dip in the eggs, and then press into the panko mixture to coat evenly, shaking off any excess. Carefully place the fish in the hot oil, taking care not to crowd the pan. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a constant sizzle. Fry the fish, turning once, until evenly brown, about 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to absorb excess oil, and, if necessary, keep warm in the oven on the rack. Repeat with the rest of the fish. Serve hot with the dipping sauce.
  • Stir together the mayonnaise, relish, and lemon juice. Chill for 10 minutes. Serve.

PARMESAN FISH STICKS

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 21m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (18-ounce) center-cut salmon fillet, about 9 by 4 inches, skinned
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 egg whites
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Olive oil, for drizzling
1/3 cup reduced fat mayonnaise
1/3 cup lowfat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Rinse the salmon fillet and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the fish in half to make 2 fillets each about 4 by 4 1/2-inches in size. Starting on the longest edge, slice the fillets into 1/2-inch pieces. Lay the widest pieces, from the center, cut side down, and slice in half lengthways so all the pieces are equally about 1/2 by 1/2 by 4 1/2-inches in size.
  • Place the flour in a medium bowl and season with the salt and pepper. Place the egg whites in another bowl and beat until frothy, about 30 seconds. Combine the Parmesan and bread crumbs in a third bowl.
  • Coat the salmon pieces in the seasoned flour and pat to remove any excess flour. Dip the floured salmon in the egg whites and then into the Parmesan mixture, gently pressing the mixture into the fish. Place the breaded salmon pieces on a liberally oiled baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with the olive oil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
  • For the Dipping Sauce:
  • Mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, Dijon mustard, and parsley (or chives, if using) in a small dipping bowl.
  • Arrange the fish sticks on a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce.
