Serves: 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 white fish fillets
  • 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 1 punnet cherry tomatoes
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan (optional)
  • 4 large washed potatoes
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges
  • 2 tbs chives
  • 1 large pre mix salad bag (e.g. Kale Slaw or Green Goddess salad kit)

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  • Line two baking trays with baking paper.
  • Cut potatoes into wedges (leaving skin on), spray with a little oil and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine breadcrumbs, parmesan and chives on a flat plate.
  • Dust fish fillets with flour, dip into egg and then lay onto breadcrumbs to coat. Press onto breadcrumbs firmly.
  • Place crumbed fillets onto baking tray and spray with a little oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add to oven with potatoes and cook for a further 15 minutes or until fish is golden and cooked through (remove potatoes if they are browning).
  • Serve with lemon wedges and mixed salad.

Notes:

  • Add some other dried herbs to breadcrumb mixture to change the flavours.
  • For an even quicker option, leave fish fillets without breadcrumbs and cook in frypan with a little oil.
  • Try a combination of potato and sweet potato for the chips.
