Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss chips in oil. Spread over a baking sheet in an even layer, bake for 40 mins until browned and crisp. Put the fish in a shallow dish, brush lightly with oil, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with half the lemon juice, bake for 12-15 mins. After 10 mins sprinkle over a little parsley and lemon zest to finish cooking.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the capers, yogurt, remaining parsley and lemon juice together, set aside and season if you wish. To serve, divide the chips between plates, lift the fish onto the plates and serve with a spoonful of yogurt mix.

Making it again

Swap the potatoes for sweet potatoes for a more exotic flavour. Or use turkey or skinless chicken fillets instead of fish if you prefer - simply bake 10 mins extra.

    Loved this healthy option. Try adding chopped garlic and sprigs of rosemary to the potatoes. Fish was lovely and moist. Timing was spot on. The tartare sauce was easy and much tastier than the 'jar variety'.

    I couldn't get the tartar to work... i used pickled capers and rinsed them but it was so sour, any ideas?

    I have just seen it on website and I was stuck as to what to cook for dinner this evening. I have all ingredients in so I'll give it a whirl. I'm looking forward to it now and will rate and comment later.

    I cooked this yesterday, very nice. I also added capers to the the fish and also a little bit of garlic (half a clove with the middle stem removed). The chips worked very well. All in all a very well balanced meal and clean plates all round.
