Z's Favorite Fish

My son loves fish sticks.  He learned about them at school.  They are not my favorite.  Because we like him to eat, we started eating fish sticks on a regular basis until I found and adjusted this recipe on Allrecipes.com.  It has a similar feel to it (mild white fish with breading) but much, much better and I think more healthy.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Spray pan with Pam.  (Large enough that the fish don't overlap.)

• Place 1 1/2 lbs frozen white fish fillets in a single layer in pan

(Our favorite fish for this is Striped Pangasius (Swai) Fillets.  You can find them individually frozen at HEB.  2 pound packages go on sale for $5 but are $6 something normally. I usually make 5 to 6 fillets.)

• Make a sauce of :
• 1 TBSP mayonaise
• 1 TBSP lime juice (lemon is fine too)
• 1/4 teas onion powder
• 1/4 teas pepper
• Spread on top of the fish.  Since it is frozen it will stick, which is handy.
• Sprinkle with bread crumbs (I take a bread crust from the bag that no one will eat, usually whole wheat and it works fine, throw it in my little food processor and make fresh crumbs but dried work fine too.)
• Drizzle with 1 1/2 TBSP melted butter

Bake at 425 for about 25 minutes or until it flakes easily.  It works just as well with thawed fish but baking time can be reduced to 20 minutes.

Serving suggestions:  I usually pop some whole sweet potatoes in the mircrowave and push my potato button.  (Stab them with a fork first and coat the skins with shortening).   Then make a green veggie like steamed broccoli or a green salad.  OR lately I've been making fish tacos with warm corn tortillas, shredded cabbage, green onions and HEB cilantro sauce (found in little containers by the fish).
