Instructions
Prepare the Chips
- 1Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- 3Spread the potatoes in a single layer on one of the prepared baking sheets.
- 4Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Prepare the Fish
- 1While the chips are baking, prepare the fish coating. In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- 2In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs.
- 3Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet lightly with olive oil.
- 4Dip each cod fillet first into the beaten egg, letting excess drip off, then press firmly into the panko mixture, ensuring it's fully coated on all sides.
- 5Place the coated fish fillets on the second prepared baking sheet.
- 6Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Make the Tartar Sauce
- 1In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, capers (if using), and Dijon mustard.
- 2Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- 3Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve
- 1Serve the oven-baked fish and chips immediately with the lemon-dill tartar sauce on the side.

Tips
- For extra crispy chips, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and baking.
- Ensure fish fillets are roughly the same thickness for even cooking. Adjust baking time as needed.
- Serve with a side of mushy peas or a fresh green salad for a complete British meal.
