Serves: 4
Hands-on time: 35 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 slice whole-grain bread
- 1/2 lb yellow potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp dried dill
- 1/4 head of cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
- 4 small radishes, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 large Braeburn apple (or other firm apple), cut into thin matchsticks
- 1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 1 egg
- 3/4 lb boneless, skinless white fish fillet, rinsed with cold water and patted dry
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a food processor, process bread into crumbs. Set aside.
- Slice potatoes as thinly as possible. Spread slices out evenly on baking sheet and drizzle with 1 1/2 tsp oil. Sprinkle salt over top and use fingertips to rub oil and salt onto each slice. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. As soon as potatoes come out of oven, sprinkle with dill and lightly toss to combine.
- Prepare slaw: In a large bowl, mix cabbage, carrot, radishes and apple. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard and 1 tbsp oil. Toss with cabbage mixture.
- Prepare fish sticks: Crack egg into a medium bowl. Chop fish as finely as possible and add to egg. Add 1/4 cup bread crumbs to fish mixture, then use hands to thoroughly combine.
- Divide fish mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a rectangular stick about 2 1/2 inches long. Pour another 1/4 cup bread crumbs into a large or flat-bottomed soup bowl. Dredge each stick in bread crumbs, pressing lightly to coat both sides.
- Heat remaining 1 1/2 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet for 1 minute on medium. Add fish sticks to pan and cook, covered, for 4 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Use heatproof tongs to gently flip sticks over and cook for another 3 minutes or until both sides are golden brown. Serve with potato chips and slaw.
