fish n' chips - but healthy!


Posted by Picasa
i am planning a trip up to the cape soon and it has me all excited about seafood!  fish n' chips to be exact.(well, clam chowder, too).  i know what you are thinking, that my version doesn't even resemble an authentic basket of fish n' chips, but cut me some slack, its incredibly healthy.  it's halibut season and i have been buying a good bit of it lately. (yes, i know, this meal is typically made with cod, but halibut works nicely as well).  i started by cutting the fillets into smaller, sorta "two bite" size nuggets.  i sprinkled each piece with a little salt and pepper, dredged them in flour, then egg whites and into dried bread crumbs.  put them on a baking sheet, drizzled with a little olive oil, and into a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. i also made sweet potato fries that i sprayed with olive oil, salt and pepper.  the potatoes went into the same oven as the fish.  while my fish n' chips were baking, i whipped up a healthy version of tartar sauce.  fat free greek yogurt, dijon mustard, capers, horseradish, fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper.  this meal was so darn good.  the fish was moist and meaty. the fries simply comforting.  i suggest you run to the store and pick up some halibut, before it's all gone!
