If you ask any middle schooler what to avoid in the cafeteria, fish sticks are probably high on the list. They don't have the best rep, but these fish nuggets are out to change that. Made with fresh fish fillets coated in breadcrumbs and parmesan, they've got a pretty convincing argument.

serves/makes:

ready in:
30-60 minutes

ingredients

1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup corn flake crumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
1 pound fresh fish fillets, cut into about 2" nuggets
non-stick cooking spray

directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a rimmed baking sheet.

Combine the bread crumbs, cornflake crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.

Rinse the fish but do not pat dry. Dredge in the crumb mixture, coating each side completely. Place the nuggets on the baking sheet.

Spray the coated nuggets with cooking spray or coil, coating them completely. Place in the oven and bake until the fish is flaky and the coating is golden brown, about 20 minutes but will depend on the fish (check after 15 minutes).

Serve the fish hot with tartar sauce.
