Ingredients

Scale

For the Fries

  • 3 large potatoes, cut into fries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Fish

  • 4 fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia, about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill) for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the potatoes into evenly sized fries to ensure uniform cooking. In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are well coated. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
  2. Bake the Fries: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the fries for 25-30 minutes. Flip them halfway through the baking time to help achieve an even, crispy texture on all sides. The fries should be golden brown and crispy when done.
  3. Season the Fish: While the fries are baking, prepare the fish fillets by patting them dry with paper towels. Drizzle the fish with olive oil and rub minced garlic over each fillet. Season with salt and pepper, then squeeze fresh lemon juice evenly over the fish to add brightness and enhance flavor.
  4. Grill the Fish: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the seasoned fish fillets on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to keep the fish tender and moist.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Arrange the grilled fish fillets on a serving plate alongside the crispy baked fries. Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or dill if desired for a fresh pop of flavor and color. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • You can use other firm white fish like halibut or bass as substitutes.
  • For extra crispy fries, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking and dry thoroughly.
  • If grilling outside isn’t possible, use a grill pan or broil the fish in the oven.
  • Adjust seasoning and lemon juice according to taste preferences.
  • This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
