Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pat the cod fillets completely dry on paper towels, season both sides with salt and pepper, and cut into sticks 8 cm long by 2 cm thick. Put the sticks in a large bowl with the flour and toss gently until well coated.
  2. Beat the egg in a bowl with the water, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
  3. Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  4. While the oil heats, coat each fish stick first in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumbs, making sure each is fully covered.
  5. When the oil is hot, about 6 to 8 minutes, add the fish sticks in a single layer, spaced apart, in batches. Fry for 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Move to a wire rack set over paper towels.
  6. For the dipping sauce, whisk the Greek yogurt with the Dijon mustard, chopped onion, chopped dill pickles, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  7. Spoon the sauce into a serving dish and arrange the fish sticks around it.
