How to Make Baked Salmon Fish Sticks
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
- In a separate shallow dish, pour 1/4 cup milk.
- Dip each salmon slice (about 1/2 inch thick) into the milk, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Dredge the milk-coated salmon in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the coated salmon sticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Let the salmon rest for 10-15 minutes. This helps them cook evenly and stay moist.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (tartar sauce, lemon aioli, etc.)!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
