Ingredients
For the Fish:
- 2 white fish fillets (e.g., cod or halibut) 🐟
- 1 tbsp olive oil 🫒
- 1 tsp paprika 🌶️
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder 🧄
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest 🍋
- Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges 🍋
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) 🌿
For the Fries:
- 2 cups frozen fries (or fresh fries if you prefer) 🍟
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Fries
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your frozen fries package.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for the recommended time, turning halfway through to ensure they’re crispy and golden brown.
Step 2: Season the Fish
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the fish fillets.
Step 3: Grill the Fish
- Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
- Place the fish fillets on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly crispy on the edges. Be careful not to overcook to maintain the fish’s moisture.
Step 4: Assemble the Plate
- Arrange the crispy fries and grilled fish fillets on a serving plate.
- Garnish the fish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
- Optional: Add a dollop of tartar sauce or drizzle with lemon butter for extra flavor.
Cooking Tips
- Choose the Right Fish: White fish like cod, halibut, or haddock works best for this recipe due to their mild flavor and firm texture.
- Fresh vs. Frozen Fries: Freshly cut fries can elevate the dish, but frozen fries save time and effort.
- Don’t Skip the Lemon: The acidity of lemon enhances the fish's flavor and balances the richness of the fries.
