Cooking spray
2 pounds skinless halibut fillets, cut into 1-inch-wide sticks
1/2 cup plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon 2% reduced-fat milk
5/8 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
4 ounces whole-wheat bread, crusts removed
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper

1
Preheat your oven to 425u00b0. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
2
Pop the fish into the freezer for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. You want the fish very very cold, but not fully frozen.
3
Combine the yogurt, the sweet pickle relish, the lemon juice, the milk, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Your kids will love you. Cover the sauce and refrigerate until ready to serve.
4
Pulse the bread in a food processor until it is a fine crumb.
5
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the crumbs in the skillet and toast 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
6
Ready a standard breading setup with three shallow dishes: Flour. Buttermilk. Crumb.
7
Remove the fish from the freezer and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Coat the fish sticks in flour, then buttermilk (no remaining dry spots, please), and finally the crumb.
8
Arrange the fish sticks on the coated baking sheet, evenly spaced, and mist them evenly with cooking spray.
9
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are crisp and the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
10
Serve with the sweet pickle yogurt for dipping.
