Crispy Baked Fish and Chips

45 minutes • Medium

Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes, cut into thick fries
  • 2 fillets of cod or haddock (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss potato fries with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
  2. While fries bake, mix flour, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge fish fillets in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  3. Place fish on a separate baking sheet, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until fish is flaky and cooked through.
  4. Serve fish and chips hot with lemon wedges and your favorite sauces.
