Fish and Chips – 21 Day Fix Approved
Here’s a healthy take on a British classic that we really put some love into getting just right. Unfortunately, no matter how healthy your
ingredients, deep-frying is too high in fat to offer a balanced meal. With this method, using pre-toasted breading and baked
chips, allows you to finish your fish and chips in a very hot oven to achieve the same results as frying, but without all the oil. Another plus,
there’s a lot less cleanup in the end!
Yields: 4 servings (1 piece of fish, approx. 8 to 12 potato wedges, and 1 Tbsp. tartar sauce each)
Portion Fix Containers: (per serving): 1 red, 1 ½ yellow
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt), divided use
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 4 (4-oz.) pieces raw white fish (like cod, pollock, tilapia or haddock)
- 2 small russet potatoes, washed, cut into ½-inch-wide wedges
- ¼ cup FIXATE Tartar Sauce * See Recipe Below*
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400º F. Place baking sheet in oven.
- Line second baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Toast bread crumbs in medium skillet over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Combine toasted bread crumbs, ½ tsp. salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl; mix well. Set aside.
- Combine eggs and mustard in a shallow pan; whisk to blend. Set aside.
- Place cornstarch on a medium plate.
- Pat fish dry with paper towels. Dredge one piece in cornstarch, then egg mixture, and then bread crumbs. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining fish. Set aside.
- Place potatoes in a medium bowl. Lightly coat with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, salt and pepper; gently toss to coat. Place potatoes on hot baking sheet (from oven). Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning potatoes occasionally to promote even browning, until potatoes are golden brown.
