Ingredients

For the Fish Fingers:

  • 1 lb firm white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock), cut into strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for baking

For the Golden Fries:

  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

For Serving:

  • Lemon wedges
  • Tartar sauce or ketchup (optional)

Directions

  1. Prepare the Fries:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
    • Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
    • Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Bake the Fries:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
    • Remove from the oven and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Fish Fingers:
    • Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bread the Fish:
    • Dip each fish strip first into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
    • Place the coated fish fingers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake the Fish Fingers:
    • Spray the fish fingers lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with a bit of olive oil.
    • Bake in the preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the crunchy fish fingers alongside the golden fries.
    • Garnish with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or ketchup.
