Healthy Fish Sticks

New You

Making fish sticks from scratch is quick and easy. Once you try them, you’ll never go back to prepackaged frozen sticks again! If you love dipping your food in condiments, you will also love the lemon caper sauce that goes with this recipe – you can really taste the fresh chives and lemon, which is the perfect compliment to the fish. The video shows you how to make breadcrumb-coated fish with a herb dipping sauce. To make this meal slightly healthier, the fish is baked instead of frying it. Serve this dinner with a light salad or some roasted vegetables and enjoy!
