Homemade Fish Sticks

Hey, friends!

     It's been a minute since I have been able to find time to blog, but it's good to be back. :)

     My boys love fish sticks, but I do my best not to buy processed foods. The happy medium I came up with is this recipe for homemade fish sticks. I was happy to have good feedback from all the little dudes; it's "yummy for their tummies" all around.  I used tilapia for the fish, but you can use any kind of fish you like best.

FISH STICKS

serves 3 | dairy-free & gluten-free

Ingredients 

• 1/2 cup almond flour (or wheat flour)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs (I used gluten free)
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp. paprika (I used smoked paprika)
• 1/2 tsp. sea salt
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
• 3 fish filets

Directions

1. Slice the fish into 1" strips.
2. Beat eggs and lemon juice together.
3. Place the flour in a separate bowl.
4. Put bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, paprika and pepper in another bowl.
5. Dip the fish strip in the flour bowl, then the egg bowl, then the breadcrumb mixture.
6. Grease a baking sheet with coconut oil.
7. Lay the strips on the baking sheet.
8. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through baking.

     I served the fish sticks with cauliflower, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and salad. It was oh-so-good! I hope you enjoy!
