Crispy Fish Sticks with Cocktail Sauce (Gluten Free)
These fish sticks are a real treat and, oh, so easy to prepare.
4 servings
Serving size: Four to five fish sticks with two tablespoons sauce
Ingredients
Gluten-free cooking spray or about two teaspoons vegetable oil
1 pound fish fillets, such as tilapia, cod, or sole
1 cup gluten-free corn flakes, processed into crumbs (see tip)
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon onion powder
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg
2 egg whites
1⁄2 cup brown rice flour
1⁄2 cup gluten-free chili sauce
1 tablespoon horseradish (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
These fish sticks are a real treat and, oh, so easy to prepare.
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Coat a large baking pan with the cooking spray or vegetable oil.
2. Cut the fish into strips, about two inches long by 1⁄2 inch wide.
3. Mix the cornflakes with the parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. In a separate dish, beat together the egg and egg whites.
5. Place the brown rice flour in a gallon-size zipper-lock bag. Add the fish, a few pieces at a time; coat each piece with flour, then dip it in the egg, then into the cornflake mixture, making sure to coat the fish stick completely. Place the fish on the prepared tray.
6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until fish is cooked through.
7. To make cocktail sauce, mix the chili sauce, horseradish, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Serve with the fish. If you prefer tartar sauce with your fish, simply mix 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise with one tablespoon pickle relish and one tablespoon lemon juice.
Tip: To crush cornflakes, put them in a gallon-size zipper-lock bag, close the top, and pound them gently with a mallet or a rolling pin until they're crushed to coarse crumbs.
