Oven ‘Fried’ Halibut & Chips with Tartar Sauce

June 14, 2014 By Carolyn Berry Leave a Comment

Halibut & CHips 1Fish & chips are a favourite meal for many, especially here on the West Coast where we’re lucky to have access to fresh fish for many months of the year. I love fish and chips just as much as the next person, but I sure don’t like the heaviness of a deep fried batter. S0 the question is… how can we indulge in the texture and flavour that we love with traditional battered fish & chips, but without all of the fat and calories?

Halibut & CHips 3The trick is preparing a flavourful homemade coating, and baking the fish at an extra high heat to help achieve a crispy texture. Adding spices to the breadcrumb mixture adds flavour, and using whole wheat breadcrumbs and flour adds some fiber.

Halibut & CHips 4So out with the bad fats and in with the good fats! Halibut contains a variety of healthy fats, which help increase our good cholesterol levels, helping to prevent against heart disease. The process of deep frying produces unhealthy fats that are not good for the heart.

  3. Mix together flour, breadcrumbs, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and lemon rind and place in a pie plate or shallow dish. Whisk together egg white and buttermilk and place in a shallow bowl or dish.
  4. Slice fillets into long pieces. One at a time, lightly coat each piece with the breadcrumb mixture, then dip into buttermilk mixture, then coat with breadcrumb mixture again. Place on cooking rack.
