Report

Toss out those boxed fish sticks and make these Crispy Fish Fingers asap! They're super crispy on the outside and moist, flakey and mild in flavor on the inside.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F.
Slice the fish into 1/2 inch x 2 inch strips or fingers.
In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined. Separate the sauce in half and set half aside. *
Place the bread crumbs on a plate. Make an assembly line with 1/2 of the mayonnaise mixture and the breadcrumbs.
Gently roll the fish fingers in the mayonnaise mixture and then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat.
Place the coated fish on a metal rack that has been set on a baking sheet and sprayed with oil. Lightly spray the fish sticks with oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the fish is flaky inside and golden brown outside. **
Use the second 1/2 of the mayonnaise mixture as a dipping sauce for the cooked fish.

Notes

This may seem like a small amount of sauce, but the fish only requires a thin coating of it before rolling in the breadcrumbs . You’ll need to lightly press the fish into the mayonnaise mixture, or brush it on with your fingertips.
If you have a convection oven, set it to 425F and cook the fish for 12 minutes.
If using an air fryer, place fish in baking grate, set to 400°F and cook for 10 minutes or until golden.
