Baked Fish and Chips

Serves: 4 | Serving size: 2 fish strips, 1 cup potatoes

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups potatoes (4 medium)
  • 1 tablespoon oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 fish fillets, thawed (wild salmon, about 3 oz. each)
  • 3 cups cornflakes
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/3 cup flour

Directions:

  1. The potatoes (chips) take longer to bake. Once they are in the oven, prepare the fish.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  3. Scrub potatoes under running water using a clean vegetable brush. Cut in half and then into 1/4 inch slices.
  4. Combine potatoes, oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir so potatoes are covered with oil.
  5. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking oil spray and lay slices out in a single layer.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn potatoes over and bake for 15 minutes more (for a total of 30 minutes).
  7. Cut each fillet into two strips.
  8. Place cornflakes in a plastic ziplock bag. Crush by rolling a glass over the bag.
  9. Beat egg and water together in a bowl.
  10. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking oil spray. Put flour in a dish. Dip each strip into flour, then egg mixture, then cornflakes.
  11. Place fish on the sheet and bake in oven for 15 minutes until fish is 145°F or flakes easily with a fork.
