Ingredients
Scale
1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia), cut into 1-inch wide strips
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup water
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine flour. In another shallow dish, beat eggs. In a third shallow dish, combine Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each fish strip first in flour, shaking off excess, then in beaten eggs, and finally in the Panko mixture, pressing to coat well.
Arrange coated fish sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork.
While fish bakes, prepare glazed carrots. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add sliced carrots, brown sugar, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until carrots are tender-crisp and liquid has reduced to a glaze. Stir occasionally.
Season glazed carrots with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve fish sticks immediately with glazed carrots.
Notes
For extra crispy fish sticks, you can lightly spray them with cooking spray before baking.
If you prefer a dipping sauce for the fish sticks, tartar sauce or a lemon dill sauce would be excellent.
Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the glazed carrots for a different flavor profile.
