Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450g) white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Ingredient:
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet and heat the oven to 425F (220C) for optimal fry and fish finger crispiness.
- Drizzle olive oil over potato strips, then generously sprinkle peri peri seasoning, garlic powder, and salt, ensuring thorough coating.
- Arrange seasoned potato strips in a single, uncrowded layer on the baking sheet to promote even roasting.
- Roast potatoes for 25-30 minutes, rotating the tray midway to achieve uniform golden-brown edges and crisp texture.
- While fries are cooking, arrange fish fingers on a separate baking tray, ensuring they are not touching.
- Place fish fingers in the same oven during the last 12-15 minutes of fry cooking time, ensuring they become golden and heated through.
- Warm the baked beans in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once fries are crisp and fish fingers are golden, remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to settle temperatures.
- Plate the fish fingers alongside the peri peri fries and serve the warm baked beans as a complementary side dish.
Notes
- Swap out regular potatoes for sweet potatoes to boost nutritional value and add a delightful caramelized flavor to your fries.
- Ensure fries are cut uniformly to guarantee even cooking and crispy texture throughout.
- Test fish fingers’ internal temperature with a meat thermometer, aiming for 145F to ensure safe and perfectly cooked seafood.
- For gluten-free adaptation, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and verify seasoning ingredients are certified gluten-free.
