Enjoy the comforting taste of traditional fish and chips without the deep-frying. This recipe delivers incredibly crispy, golden-brown fish fillets and perfectly seasoned potato 'chips' (fries) all baked in the oven or air fryer. It's a lighter yet equally satisfying version of the beloved dish, making it a fantastic option for a weeknight meal or a Lenten observance in March.

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare the fries: In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2
Bake the fries for 20 minutes, then flip them and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. While fries are baking, prepare the fish.
3
Pat fish fillets dry. Set up a breading station: one shallow dish with flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika; a second dish with the beaten egg; and a third dish with Panko breadcrumbs.
4
Dip each fish fillet first in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess, then in the egg, letting excess drip off, and finally in the Panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Place the breaded fish on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
5
Bake the fish for 12-18 minutes, depending on thickness, or until the fish is flaky and cooked through, and the breading is golden and crispy. (If using an air fryer, cook at 400°F/200°C for 10-14 minutes, flipping halfway).
6
Serve the crispy baked fish immediately with the hot fries, lemon wedges, and tartar sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen fish fillets?

Yes, but ensure they are completely thawed and thoroughly patted dry before breading. Excess moisture will prevent the breading from becoming crispy.

How can I get the fries extra crispy?

For extra crispy fries, you can soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before tossing with oil and seasoning. This removes excess starch. Drain and pat them very dry before proceeding. Also, ensure they are spread in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet.

What's the best way to make homemade tartar sauce?

A simple homemade tartar sauce can be made by combining mayonnaise, finely chopped dill pickles or capers, a squeeze of lemon juice, and fresh dill or parsley. Adjust ingredients to your taste.
