Description

Imagine biting into a perfectly crisp, golden crust, yielding to reveal tender, flaky white fish. This dish delivers that satisfying experience, reminiscent of classic fish and chips, but with a lighter approach. Instead of traditional, carbohydrate-heavy fried potatoes, this recipe features flavorful, seasoned vegetables that complement the delicate fish.

The vegetables offer a delightful contrast in textures and flavors, providing a balanced and wholesome meal. The fish is enveloped in a light and airy batter, creating a delightful crunch with every bite. The seasoning blend enhances the natural sweetness of the fish, creating a savory and satisfying flavor profile.

The vegetables are carefully selected to offer a range of textures and tastes, from the sweetness of bell peppers to the earthiness of mushrooms. Roasting or grilling brings out their natural flavors, making them a perfect accompaniment to the fish. To elevate this dish, consider serving it with traditional accompaniments.

A creamy tartar sauce adds a tangy and refreshing element, while a splash of malt vinegar provides a classic savory kick. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the flavors and adds a zesty touch. Whether you're seeking a comforting meal or a lighter alternative to a beloved classic, this recipe promises a delightful culinary experience.

The combination of textures and flavors will tantalize your taste buds and leave you feeling satisfied, making it a perfect choice for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Important Note: Certain steps in the preparation may require slightly more of some ingredients than what's listed in the ingredient list. This is done to ensure optimal flavor and texture.

However, the ingredient list reflects the exact quantities used for accurate nutritional information.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Peel and cut approx. 2 zucchini into french fry shapes - about 4 inches long and inch wide. You should get about 20-24 zucchini fries.
    2.
    In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini fries with the lemon pepper, first amount of salt, and paprika.
    3.
    Arrange the fries on a sheet pan that has been lined with aluminum foil and lightly sprayed with pan spray. Bake the sheet of fries for 30 minutes. These are tender fries and not crispy vegetables that have been actually fried in oil. Set the fries aside to cool for the remainder of the recipe.
    4.
    While the zucchini is baking, prepare your cod. Cut 2 cod fillets into 4, 2 -oz pieces. Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel and sprinkle the second amount of salt and the pepper over the tops of each piece. Have the fish set aside for later.
    5.
    Separate your eggs. Place the whites in a stand mixer with a whip attachment and whip until you have stiff peaks. Set the egg whites aside in a bowl for later.
    6.
    Wipe your mixing bowl clean and place the egg yolks in with the whip attachment. Whip your egg yolks on high until they become thicker and bright yellow, almost like a yellow mustard. This can take around 5 minute or longer.
    7.
    Fold your egg whites into your egg yolks by hand with a spatula. Set this egg mixture near where you will be frying your fish.
    8.
    On a plate, sift together your almond flour and powdered buttermilk. You may need to use more than what is listed in the ingredients - up to 3 TB almond flour and 1 TB buttermilk. Lightly coat all sides of each fish fillet in the dry mixture.
    9.
    Now, heat your coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. A cast iron skillet will be best, but any non-stick skillet you have for fish will work. You need at least inch of oil heated in your pan (more than what is listed in the ingredients). Start with 1 or 2 of your fish fillets. Dip each coated fillet in your egg batter, let the excess fall off the fish, then place it in the hot oil.
    10.
    Cook your fish for 2-3 minutes per side, adjusting your cooking heat as necessary to avoid burning. You may need to sift your oil or add new oil as you cook your fish.
    11.
    Transfer each cooked piece of fish to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess oil. Serve each fried piece of fish with approx. 1 oz zucchini fries (5-6 pieces) as well as your favorite fish and chips condiment!
