Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 17 minutes

Ingredients  

  • 4 sole or tilapia filets, fresh or frozen, thawed
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or vegan mayonnaise)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or panko
  • cooking spray

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Slice the fish into 1/2 inch x 2 inch strips or fingers. 
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined. Separate the sauce in half and set half aside. *
  • Place the bread crumbs on a plate. Make an assembly line with 1/2 of the mayonnaise mixture and the breadcrumbs.
  • Gently roll the fish fingers in the mayonnaise mixture and then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat.
  • Place the coated fish on a metal rack that has been set on a baking sheet and sprayed with oil. Lightly spray the fish sticks with oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the fish is flaky inside and golden brown outside. **
  • Use the second 1/2 of the mayonnaise mixture as a dipping sauce for the cooked fish.
  • * This may seem like a small amount of sauce, but the fish only requires a thin coating of it before rolling in the breadcrumbs . You’ll need to lightly press the fish into the mayonnaise mixture, or brush it on with your fingertips.
  • ** If you have a convection oven, set it to 425F and cook the fish for 12 minutes.
  • ** If using an air fryer, place fish in baking grate, set to 400°F and cook for 10 minutes or until golden.
