No- Fry Fish Sticks

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 

pound 

skinless tilapia fillets (about 2)

1 

cup 

panko bread crumbs

1/4 

cup 

olive oil

1 

teaspoon 

paprika

kosher salt and black pepper

ketchup or tartar sauce, for serving (optional)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400° F. Cut the fish into 3-by-½-inch-thick sticks (about 24). In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, oil, paprika, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
2. Coat the fish sticks in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crisp and opaque throughout, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with ketchup or tartar sauce, if desired.
