a very nice dish for the whole family
Ingredients:
For the Fish:
- 4 boneless, skinless fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
For the Chips:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled (optional) and cut into thick fries
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Chips:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Potatoes: Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme or rosemary, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they cook evenly.
- Bake: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Flip them halfway through for even browning.
Prepare the Fish:
- Prepare Coating: In a shallow dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the Fish: Dredge each fish fillet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated fish fillets on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Brush or lightly spray the tops with olive oil or melted butter to help them crisp up.
- Bake: Place the fish fillets in the oven (alongside or after the chips, depending on oven space). Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
Finish and Serve:
- Check for Doneness: Ensure the chips are crispy and golden brown. If needed, you can bake them for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Serve: Serve the baked fish and chips hot, with your favorite condiments like tartar sauce, malt vinegar, or a squeeze of lemon. Add a side of peas or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
