So if you love fish and chips and want to try these oven baked fish and chips at home, take a look at this delicious recipe from BBC Good Food.
Ingredients:
- 880g of floury potatoes
- 4 sustainable white fish fillets, roughly 140g each
- 50g of fresh breadcrumbs
- The zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp of chopped parsley
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 200g cherry tomatoes
Instructions:
Step 1-Preheat your oven to 220 degrees celcius/200 degrees in a fan oven/Gas Mark 7. Cut the potatoes in to chips, and pat them, dry using kitchen paper. Lay the chips on a baking tray in a single layer before covering with half of the olive oil, and seasoning with salt.
Step 2-Cook the chips for 40 minutes in total until they start to turn a golden brown colour. Turn the chips after 20 minutes to ensure they are evenly cooked.
Step 3-In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, lemon zest and parsley then season to your own taste with sea salt and black pepper. Once well mixed, top each fish fillet with some of the mixture and add the remaining olive oil.
Step 4- Place the fish fillets in a roasting tin and put them in the oven along with the chips for the final 10 minutes that the chips will need to cook. That’s it, the oven baked fish and chips is finished!
