Description

These Crunchy Fish Fillets offer a delightful twist on classic fish sticks, using a simple saltine cracker crust for extra texture and flavor. The mild grouper fillets are dipped in a tangy sour cream and lemon mixture before being rolled in seasoned crumbs, ensuring every bite is moist inside and golden outside. Baked rather than fried, they provide a lighter yet equally satisfying crunch. Perfect for busy weeknight dinners or a fun family meal, this dish comes together quickly with pantry staples. Serve with chili sauce for a zesty kick.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Crush the Saltine crackers into fine crumbs and place them in a shallow dish.
  4. Mix the crushed crackers with 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup reduced-calorie sour cream, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons water.
  6. Cut 10 oz of grouper fillets into strips.
  7. Dip each fish strip into the sour cream mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
  8. Transfer the coated fish to the cracker mixture, rolling to cover evenly.
  9. Place the coated fish sticks on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Serve warm with chili sauce if desired.
