Healthy fish and chips
Fish and chips are an absolute classic, but let’s face it, they can be packed with saturated fats, dangerous oils and tons of calories. Thankfully, you don’t have to give up your favourite dish just because you’re watching what you eat. This lighter version of fish and chips will satisfy that craving for takeaway without taking much of a hit to your diet. Simply pair with some steamed veg and you’ve got yourself a filling and nutritious meal.
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- 450g potatoes, peeled and cut into chips
- 1 tbsp. olive oil (plus extra to brush fish)
- 2 fillets white fish (around 140g each)
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- Small handful dill, chopped
Method:
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Toss chips in oil and then lay evenly on a large tray lined with baking powder. Bake for 40 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Place the fish in a shallow dish and brush with remaining oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle about half the lemon juice and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, removing briefly at 10 minutes to sprinkle lemon zest and dill.
- Divide chips evenly between two plates and serve the fish with a handful of whatever vegetables you have on hand, steamed (we recommend broccoli, peas and carrot).
