While I will always prefer the beer battered and deep fried fish, this version is a close second and is much healthier. Nearly any white-fleshed fish will do: cod, walleye, or whiting for example. If you would like the chips done completely in the oven, follow the directions for these potato wedges, omitting the seasoning.
Oven Fried Fish
- Four 6oz fillets of white fleshed fish
- 1/2 cup of flour
- ~ 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup white cornmeal mixed with 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp cayenne (optional)
- 1 tsp dill
- salt / pepper to taste
- ~ 1 TBSP olive or vegetable oil
In a shallow bowl add the seasonings to the cornmeal & breadcrumb mix.
Place the flour in another shallow bowl
Preheat the oven to 500°F and grease a baking sheet with the oil.
One by one dip the fish fillets into the milk, then the flour, back into the milk , and finally into the breadcrumb mixture.
Place onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes carefully turning halfway through.
Chips
- 3 medium potatoes sliced into thin wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt / pepper to taste
Soak the potato wedges in warm water for 15 minutes. Saute over medium high heat in the olive oil for 10 minutes. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil until they reach the desired shade of brown.
Oops. While I did have fried fish and chips at Madra Rua the other night, the good news is I just made two meals using Ziploc Steamer bags.
Now THAT’s healthy isn’t it?
The recipes that came with the bags looked good so I went online and found about 15 more.
Have you tried this “steaming” method much?
