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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
