Ingredients
FRENCH FRIES
- 600g agria potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 0.5cm-thick fries
FISH FINGERS
- 450g fish fillets
- 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons milk
SPINACH AND BROCCOLI SALAD
- 1 head broccoli
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vinegar (e.g. red wine, white wine)
- ½ teaspoon maple syrup or runny honey
- 1 carrot, peeled and grated
- ½ bag baby spinach leaves, sliced
LIME AIOLI
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
TO SERVE (optional)
- tomato sauce
Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
-
Toss potatoes with a drizzle of oil on prepared tray and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until tender and crispy. Turn once during cooking.
-
Pat fish dry with paper towels and remove any remaining scales or bones. Slice fillets into 2 x 8cm strips and season with salt. Place seasoned flour in a shallow bowl, whisk egg with milk in a second bowl and place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
-
Coat fish (one handful at a time) first in flour, then egg mixture, then breadcrumbs, shaking off excess as you go. Set aside. Bring a small pot of salted water to the boil.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frypan on medium-high heat. Cook fish, in batches, for 1-2 minutes each side, or until golden and just cooked through. Wipe out pan between batches, and add more oil as needed. While fish is cooking, cut broccoli into small florets.
-
Cook broccoli in pot of boiling water for 2 minutes, until just tender. Drain. Whisk oil, vinegar and maple syrup/honey together in a large bowl. Add all remaining salad ingredients to bowl with dressing, toss to combine, season then set aside. In a small bowl, mix together all lime aioli ingredients.
-
divide fish fingers, French fries and salad between plates. Serve with a dollop of lime aioli to dip fish fingers into. Alternatively serve with tomato sauce.
