Garlic & Herb Parmesan Fish Sticks with Greek Yogurt Tartar Sauce

Does everyone have a childhood memory of fish sticks or is that just me? I loved fish sticks when I was a kid but my impression of them was limited to no other than the childhood gourmet frozen classic, Kid Cuisine. Does anyone else remember these frozen meals? I wasn’t even sure they still existed but to my disbelief, they’re still kickin’. Eek. To think I used to beg my Mom for those!

To relive my childhood Kid Cuisine glory days and satisfy the biggest little kid in my life, Steve, I decided to whip up some crunchy, homemade gluten-free fish sticks. Steve was legitimately excited about this meal and who could blame him! His enthusiasm almost made up for the fact that he used BBQ sauce for dipping instead of my homemade tartar sauce. But truth be told, that dude would carry around BBQ sauce in his back pocket if he could. So, no hard feelings, Steve.

Instructions

1. Pat the fish dry using a paper towel. Cut the fish filets in half lengthwise and then half again lengthwise. Then cut strips in half horizontally to create wide strips. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Add Breton crackers to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs are formed. Add grated parmesan and pulse to combine.
3. Set up three bowls, one for the flour, one for the egg, and one for the breadcrumbs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the flour bowl. Dip each strip of fish into the flour, the egg, and the breadcrumbs in that order and place onto the baking sheet. Repeat for each piece of fish. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
4. In the meantime, make your tartar sauce by mixing together the Greek Yogurt, lemon juice, pickle juice, minced pickle, and salt and pepper until combined. Serve fish sticks with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.

And that tartar sauce! Who knew how easy making homemade tartar sauce is! I always have pickles in my fridge now as I’ve made a point to include more fermented foods in my diet. So making this tartar sauce was easy peasy with my kitchen staples. Never buying jarred tartar again!
