Healthier fish and chips
Fish and chips, the nation’s favourite Friday night supper! Swap the greasy takeaway for this healthier fish and chips recipe.
It’s our homemade healthier version, with fibre-filled sweet potato fries and a crunchy breadcrumb-coated fillet o’ fish.
Ingredients
- Spray oil
- 750g sweet potatoes
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
- 4 white fish fillets – cod or haddock, approx 150g each
- 75G breadcrumbs
- 1 lemon – zested
- 25g Italian-style cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley
- 2 tins of peas
- 1 tbsp crème fraiche
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
- Side salad to serve
Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
- Cut the sweet potato into thick wedges and place in a shallow roasting tray.
- Spray the potatoes with some spray oil, season and sprinkle with the paprika, if you’re using that.
- Mix well to combine it all.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, turning halfway through.
- Meanwhile, spray some spray oil onto a baking tray and place the fish fillets onto the tray.
- Put the breadcrumbs in a bowl, then add the lemon zest, Italian-style cheese and parsley and mix together.
- Divide the mix evenly into four and press on top of each fish fillet.
- Bake in the oven for the last 10-12 minutes of the sweet potatoes’ cooking time, or until the crumbs are golden, the fish is opaque (not see-through), and the potatoes are golden and crisp.
- De-tin the peas and heat in a pan, boil for three minutes.
- Drain the peas and place in a bowl with the crème fraiche and mint. Use a fork and mash together until it’s a consistency that you like.
- We suggest serving up with a lovely side salad… enjoy!
