Method

Heat the oven to 220°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Lightly brush or spray the paper with oil.
Pat the fish dry and season it with a little salt and pepper.
Set out three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan, paprika, and garlic powder.
Coat each fish stick first in flour, then in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the crumbs stick well.
Arrange the coated fish sticks on the baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle or brush the tops lightly with oil or melted butter.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and the fish flakes easily in the center.
Serve warm with ketchup or a mild yogurt dip.
