Fish Sticks with Cilantro-Serrano Tartar Sauce is a healthy, tasty update on a classic family meal standby: homemade fish fingers. Take Lia’s advice: Double the recipe and freeze half for a quick supper later in the week.

On the side:

Paired with the fish sticks. our Garlic Parsnip Fries offer a contemporary take on fish and chips. You can pan-fry the fish sticks while these babies roast in the oven. Round out the plate with our colorful Romaine Slaw–its fresh, crunchy texture and creamy dressing make it a real a kid-pleaser.

Don’t forget dessert:

Make a batch of our No-Bake Peanut Butter Popcorn Treats–enjoy some on Sunday evening and send the rest in lunches during the week.

Fish Sticks with Cilantro-Serrano Tartar Sauce

Commercial fish sticks are loaded with fillers and preservatives. Make your own and you can avoid all that. I’ll often double this recipe and freeze half, so I have healthy fish sticks on hand for Noemi for busy nights. Just heat frozen fish fingers in the oven at 400 degrees F for about 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
