This is a delicious, healthy recipe that does not sacrifice flavour. Recipe is from the cookbook, "Canyon Ranch Cooking: Bringing the Spa Home", by Canyon Ranch & Jeanne Jones.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 lb russet potato, cut into wedges
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 6 tablespoons whole wheat bread crumbs
• 1 pinch fresh ground black pepper
• 1 egg white, beaten
• 1 lb sole or 1 lb cod or 1 lb halibut fillet, cut into 4-ounce portions

Tartar Sauce

• 2/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise (optional)
• 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (optional)
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
• 1 teaspoon minced parsley (optional)
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the potato wedges on one side, leaving enough room for the fillets, and spray them with the cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
2. While the potatoes are baking, combine the flour, bread crumbs, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
3. In another shallow bowl lightly beat the egg white. Dip the fish fillets in the egg white, then coat both sides with the flour mixture. Transfer to the baking sheet, alongside the potatoes, and continue to cook for 10 minutes more, or until the fillets are crisp and browned.
4. Combine all the ingredients for the tartar sauce in a small bowl and mix well. Serve 1 tablespoon on each fish fillet.

Thanks for this recipe, it was good. I found the ingredients a little on the bland side (I know, it's meant to be simple)....I added a herb/garlic mix to the potatoes. The fish crisped up really well. And the tartar sauce is great, I wish I would have had some relish on hand, that would have made it even better. I did cook for longer at a slightly lower temp because I was using new potatoes.

So good and easy. I made this for dinner and we all loved it. The fish was nice and crispy and the chips were perfect. I did sprinkle the chips with season salt and garlic powder.
