Golden Fish Sticks

1 1/4 pounds cod fillet (can sub tilapia), cut into strips
2 cups cornflake crumbs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice, for basting sauce (zest first)
2 tablespoons lemon juice, for the tarter sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
olive oil cooking spray


Position rack in top third of oven and preheat to 450 degrees.

[1] Place the corn flake crumbs in a medium shallow bowl and mix in a little lemon zest. In another shallow bowl, mix the butter and lemon juice for the basting sauce. Season fish with salt and pepper and let sit for a few minutes.

[2] To make the tarter sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, mayonnaise and relish. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.

[3] Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Roll the fish in the lemon butter, then dip into cornflake mixture, coating completely. Arrange fish on the baking sheet and sprinkle with any remaining cornflake mixture. Bake the fish until cooked through, about 5-10 minutes or until cooked through and crispy. Serve with sauce.

Note: If your fish sticks are not getting crispy, heat under the broiler for a few seconds.
