Fish 'N' Chips Recipe

Recipe Type: Halibut, Seafood, Potatoes, Diet
Yields: 4 servings
Prep time: 30 min
Bake time: 20 min

 

Ingredients:

Tartar Sauce (see recipe below)
1 pound (3 medium) russet
potatoes, unpeeled
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
6 tablespoons whole-wheat bread crumbs
Pinch freshly-ground black pepper
1 egg white or egg substitute
1 pound halibut, cod, sole, or scrod fillets, cut into 4-ounce portions.


Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with with non-stick cooking spray. Prepare Tartar Sauce.

Scrub potatoes and slice potatoes lengthwise into wedges. Arrange the potato wedges on one side, leaving enough room for the fish fillets, and spray them with cooking spray. Bake for approximately 15 to 20  minutes or until golden brown and tender.

While potatoes are baking, combine flour, bread crumbs and pepper in a shallow bowl.

In another shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg white. Dip the fish fillets in the egg white, then coat both sides with the flour mixture. Transfer the prepared fish fillets to the baking sheet, alongside the potatoes; continue to cook for approximately 10 minutes more or until a meat thermometer  inserted in the fish fillets registers an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Remove from oven and serve.

This is the type of cooking and meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking.  I get many readers asking what cooking/meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking and baking. I, personally, use the Thermapen Thermometer shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed for professional users, the Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is used by chefs all over the world. To learn more about this excellent thermometer and to also purchase one (if you desire), just click on the underlined: Thermapen Thermometer.

Makes 4 servings (4-ounce serving of fish, 4-ounce serving of potatoes, and 1 tablespoon of Tartar Sauce per serving).
 

Tartar Sauce:
2/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon freshly-squeezed
lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced parsley
Pinch cayenne pepper

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, pickle relish, lemon juice, parsley, and cayenne pepper until well blended. Store, covered, in refrigerator until ready to use.
