Fish and Chips, a healthier way!

Yesterday, Pat and I attended a barbecue at a friends house.  Everyone was talking about the "old" days and things they missed, and someone said they missed "Arthur Treacher's Fish N Chips".  Well immediately it got me to thinking I wanted fish and chips! So I decided to cook us up a healthy version for dinner tonight, including a homemade, low fat tartar sauce.

Serves 4

Chips:
3 white potatoes
2 TBS of olive oil
1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of red pepper
Salt to season

Fish:
2 lbs of cod, cut into 8 smaller pieces
1/2 cup of Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup of Corn flake crumbs
1/2 cup of Shake and Bake
1 Tbs of Old Bay seasoning
1 Tbs of Garlic Powder
1 Tbs of Onion Powder
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of red pepper
3 TBS of Lemon Olive Oil

Tartar Sauce:
1 cup of light mayonnaise
2 TBS of sweet relish
2 Tsp of lemon juice
1 Tsp of onion powder

  1. Preheat oven to 425.  Cover baking sheets (2) with foil and spray with non stick spray.
  2. Slice potatoes into french fries. Place potatoes into plastic bag, pour ingredients into bag, seal and shake till all potatoes are covered. Place on sprayed cookie sheet and put in oven and cook until crisp, flip 1/2 way through, total cook time, approx 45 minutes.
  3. Mix all ingredients except for fish and lemon olive oil, in a bowl. Brush both sides of each piece of fish with lemon olive oil.  Put ingredients from bowl into sealed plastic bag, add fish, one piece at a time, and shake until both sides are coated, place each piece on sprayed cookie sheet.  Place cookie sheet in oven, 30 minutes after french fries have cooked.
  4. While food is cooking, mix together all ingredients for tartar sauce, keep in refrigerator until you serve dinner. (the longer it chills, the better the flavor.
  5. Remove fish and chips from oven, sprinkle sea salt over french fries and serve hot.
  6. Enjoy!
