Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock or tilapia)
Vegetables and Starches:
- 2 large potatoes
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
Herbs, Seasonings, and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chopped chives
Instructions
- Prepare an oven by heating it to 392°F (200°C) to ensure a consistent cooking environment.
- Carefully peel potatoes and use a box grater to create coarse shreds, then thoroughly eliminate excess moisture by squeezing the potato gratings and patting them completely dry with paper towels.
- Select a large skillet and warm olive oil over medium-high heat, then quickly sauté minced garlic for approximately 30 seconds to release its aromatic flavors.
- Season fish fillets with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring even coverage across the entire surface.
- Generously coat each seasoned fish fillet with the prepared potato gratings, using gentle pressure to create a consistent, adherent crust that will crisp beautifully.
- Carefully position the potato-encrusted fish fillets into the heated skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until the potato coating transforms into a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
- Transition the skillet directly into the preheated oven, allowing the fish to complete cooking for 5-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches perfect doneness.
- While the fish bakes, combine lemon zest, fresh thyme, chopped parsley, minced chives, additional salt, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl to create a vibrant herb mixture.
- Remove the fish from the oven and plate immediately, accompanied by the fresh herb blend, presenting a visually appealing and flavorful dish.
Notes
- Slice potatoes thinly and uniformly to ensure even cooking and optimal crispiness in the potato crust.
- Swap white fish fillets like cod, haddock, or tilapia interchangeably based on availability or preference.
- Verify fish doneness by gently testing the thickest part of the fillet with a fork, checking for easy flaking.
- Elevate breadcrumb coating by mixing in finely chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, dill, or chives for added flavor complexity.
- Adapt cooking method by transferring fish to a baking dish if an oven-safe pan is unavailable, maintaining cooking continuity.
