Looking for a healthier alternative to the classic fish and chips? Oven-baked fish fingers and chips offer a nutritious, delicious, and easy-to-make meal that the whole family will love. Packed with protein and healthy fats, this recipe includes white fish, potatoes, bread crumbs, and a fresh avocado-tomato side. Let’s dive into how to create this mouthwatering dish!
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into chip shapes.
- Place the potato chips on a baking tray and give them a light spray of cooking oil. Toss them around to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Bake the chips in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
- While the chips are baking, cut the white fish into finger-sized strips.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with bread crumbs.
- Dredge each fish strip in the flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it with bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the breaded fish fingers on a separate baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly sprayed with cooking oil.
- Place the tray with fish fingers in the oven alongside the potato chips. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish fingers are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the fish fingers and chips are baking, halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado and place it in a bowl. Add the lemon juice and mix gently to coat the avocado.
- Once the fish fingers and chips are done baking, remove them from the oven.
- Serve the fish fingers alongside the baked chips. Add the cherry tomatoes and the lemon-avocado mixture on the side.
Tips:
- For extra crispy fish fingers, double-coat them with flour and bread crumbs.
- Try to cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- If you prefer, you can add spices such as paprika or garlic powder to the bread crumbs for additional flavor.
- Preheat the oven thoroughly before baking to ensure even cooking.
- You can use a cooking spray to lightly coat the fish fingers and chips to ensure they get a nice golden crust.
- Serve with a simple homemade tartar sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added zest.
