Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and position the rack in the center.
- Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
- On a large plate, mix the bread crumbs with a light drizzle of olive oil.
- Cut the cod into 1/2-inch-wide strips.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
- Dip each fish strip into the egg, letting excess drip back, then coat with the crumb mixture and lay on the sheet; work in batches.
- Bake until the coating is golden and the fish is opaque in the center, about 15–18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, wash and dry the apples, carrots, and parsley; core the apples and grate them, and grate the carrots into a salad bowl; chop half the parsley and reserve the rest for the dip.
- Add raisins to the slaw, then squeeze the lemon into a separate bowl that will hold the dressing. Mix mayo, yogurt, Dijon, salt, and pepper with the lemon juice and chopped parsley; reserve half of this sauce for dipping and add the rest to the slaw, tossing to coat.
- To serve, arrange the fish sticks with a portion of slaw and offer the reserved dip on the side.
Two tips
- Prep the slaw and dip ahead; keep refrigerated and combine with dressing just before serving.
- For a different bite, serve the fish sticks with extra lemon wedges or swap raisins for chopped dates in the slaw.
