Fish Sticks for Kids

It is so important for kids to eat fish - but it is so difficult to get them to eat it.  I have a 4 year old who thinks that french fries are a meal on their own!  Even she gobbled these up.

1 1/2 lbs salmon

Teriyaki Marinade:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar or honey (or maple syrup)
2 tbsp lime or orange juice
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, crushed

Ginger-Orange Marinade:
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp grated fresh ginger


  1. Cut fish fillets into strips or into cubes; place them in a bowl or large resealable bag.
  2. Stir together marinade ingredients and pour over the fish, tossing gently to coat the fish evenly.  Refrigerate for an hour or up to several hours.
  3. When ready to cook, soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent them from burning.  Preheat the oven to 425F.
  4. Thread the fish pieces onto the skewers, leaving about 1 cm between chunks or winding strips back and forth in an S shape.  Place skewers on a baking sheet about 2.5 cm apart.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes, until just cooked through
