Ingredients
Scale
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)
Instructions
- 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. - Bake the Fries:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside. - Prepare the Fish Fingers:
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first dish, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in the third dish. - 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. - 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. - Serve:
Serve the crunchy fish fingers alongside the golden fries. Garnish with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce, like tartar sauce or ketchup.
Notes
For a healthier twist, use a light coating of olive oil spray instead of traditional oil. Ensure the fish is fully cooked by checking that it flakes easily with a fork.
