tartar sauce

🥗Healthier: yogurt dip

💰Cheaper: mayo

A yogurt dip is lighter and healthier than traditional tartar sauce.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with cooking spray.

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Dredge each fish fillet in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip the floured fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.

Coat the fish in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Place the coated fish fingers on the prepared baking sheet.

Drizzle or spray the fish fingers lightly with oil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Serve hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
