The Ingredients (SNAP & WIC Friendly Categories)

  • 🐟 1 lb White Fish Fillets (Cod, Tilapia, or Pollock) OR 2 cans (14.75 oz) Pink Salmon (WIC Category: Canned Fish/Frozen Fish)

  • 🥣 1 ½ cups Crispy Corn Flakes or Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (WIC Category: Cereal/Whole Grains)

  • 🥚 2 Large Eggs (WIC Category: Eggs)

  • 🍋 1 Fresh Lemon (WIC Category: Fresh Produce)

  • 🧂 Pantry Staples: Salt, pepper, and a little paprika for that "sports bar" glow

  • 🥗 Optional Side: Carrot sticks or apple slices (WIC Category: Fresh Produce)

 

Instructions

  1. 🏟️ Set Your Starting Lineup: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a light coating of oil.

  2. ✂️ The Cut: If using fresh/frozen fillets, slice them into "dipper" strips (about 1 inch wide). If using canned salmon, drain and mix with one egg to form small, flat patties.

  3. Crunch Time: In a bowl, crush your corn flakes or breadcrumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk the 2 eggs.

  4. 🏈 The Hand-Off: Dip each fish piece into the egg wash, then roll it in the crunchy crumbs until fully coated. Press down firmly so the "armor" stays on!

  5. ⏲️ The Fast Break: Arrange on the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes (flip halfway through) until they are golden brown and crispy.

  6. 🏆 The Win: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and serve with your favorite dipping sauce (like Greek yogurt mixed with dill).
