1/4 cup full fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1/3 cup finely chopped dill pickles
1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Fish Sticks:

1 1/2 lbs skinless wild cod (sea bass or haddock fillets, if frozen thawed)
2 large eggs (beaten)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 lemon (squeezed)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons seasoned panko breadcrumbs (regular or gluten-free)
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
olive oil spray
lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Cut the fish into 16 sticks, about 4 x 1 inches.
Combine the ingredients for the tartar sauce in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to eat.
Combine eggs, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika and salt in a medium bowl.
In a second bowl combine the Panko crumbs with Old Bay seasoning.
Dip the fish into the egg mixture, then the panko. Set aside.
Transfer to the air fryer basket, in batches as needed and spray both sides with olive oil. Air fry 400F about 8 minutes, turning half way, until golden and crisp.
Serve hot with tartar sauce.

Notes

TO FREEZE:

Place the sheet pan with the uncooked breaded fish sticks in the freezer for about 2 hours to flash freeze them.
Once frozen, transfer them carefully in a freezer bag or container, squeezing out all the air.
Freeze up to 6 months.
