Red Snapper Fish and Chips
The idea was to make a fish recipe that kids would love; fish and chips is the clear winner. Start by laying potato wedges skin-side down on the sheet (they’ll caramelize evenly) then get them in the oven. And not only is this fried snapper incredibly delicious, it’s easy to make too.
Ingredients
- 2 lb (900 g) unpeeled russet potatoes, cut into wedges 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) tomato-based chili sauce
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup (150 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup (250 ml) cold tonic water
- 3/4 lb (340 g) skinless red snapper fillets, cut into 8 strips
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- On the prepared sheet, toss the potatoes with the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the potato wedges skin side down. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
