Ingredients
Scale
Chips
- 450g potatoes, peeled and cut into chips
- 1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
Fish
- 2 white fish fillets, about 140g (5oz) each
- Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
- Small handful of parsley leaves, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Tartare Sauce
- 1 tbsp capers, chopped
- 2 heaped tbsp 0% Greek yogurt
- Remaining parsley leaves, chopped
- Remaining lemon juice
- Lemon wedge, to serve
Instructions
- Prepare and bake the chips: Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C) or gas mark 6. Toss the peeled and cut potato chips in 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat evenly. Spread them out over a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 40 minutes until the chips are browned and crisp, turning once halfway through if desired.
- Prepare the fish: Place the white fish fillets in a shallow dish and brush them lightly with a little olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle half of the lemon juice over the fillets, then transfer them to the oven to bake alongside the chips for 12 to 15 minutes. After 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle the fish with some chopped parsley and lemon zest to finish cooking.
- Make the tartare sauce: While the fish and chips bake, mix the chopped capers, Greek yogurt, remaining parsley, and the rest of the lemon juice together in a small bowl. Season to taste if desired and set aside.
- Serve: Once cooked, divide the crispy chips between plates. Lift the baked fish onto the plates and add a spoonful of the prepared tartare sauce alongside. Garnish with a lemon wedge for extra zest and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a more exotic flavor, swap regular potatoes for sweet potatoes.
- For a meat alternative, substitute fish fillets with turkey or skinless chicken fillets; increase baking time by 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
- You can brush the chips with a little extra oil halfway through baking for extra crispiness.
- Use freshly chopped parsley and lemon zest for the best flavor impact.
