These crispy and delicious Crispy Baked Fish and Chips are easy to make and a healthy version of a classic favorite.

We are all about making healthier versions of our favorite childhood dishes and these Baked Fish and Chips are at the top of that list!

What makes this delicious recipe even better healthier option is the fact that it’s gluten-free and baked so without all the extra oil from frying. Baking the potatoes at the same time also makes for a super easy meal with minimal cleanup. What’s not to love?

Crispy Baked Fish and Chips

Good ole’ white potatoes make the best “chips” for this recipe, but we make them all the time with sweet potatoes or Japanese sweet potatoes and it tastes fantastic! Another option if potatoes aren’t something you want to make alongside this dish is to use baked yuca or jicama as a “fry” with a sprinkle of sea salt, vinegar, or lemon juice.

Here are a couple of our favorite side dishes that go great with these Crispy Baked Fish and Chips:

Know Your Proteins

Animal proteins aren’t for everyone, and we here at Nutrition Stripped are very selective of what we bring into our home from the market and what we put on our dinner table.

For more information about navigating animal proteins, check out our Guide to Eating Animal Proteins. If consuming animal protein do fit your lifestyle, then we recommend making this recipe with cod or any white flaky fish following our guidelines to getting animal proteins.

For more reading on protein, you might also enjoy these articles:

If you don’t consume animal proteins, you can make this recipe using tofu as the protein. If using this path to the recipe, then you’ll need an egg replacer to make sure the breading sticks to the tofu and then follow with all the remaining ingredients.

Everything’s better with sauce

Everyone has their favorite dips and sauces, but when it comes to fish and chips, you can’t beat the classics. Fresh lemon wedges, malt vinegar and of course our favorite, tangy dairy-free homemade tartar sauce.

As an extra bonus here’s our favorite tartar sauce recipe for you to try!

For the Fish

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine rice flour, garlic powder, onion powder and stir to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs until homogenous. Pour gluten-free panko bread crumbs onto a dinner plate. Cut cod into four pieces, pat dry and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Dust fish in the first bowl with rice flour mixture, remove and dip into egg mixture until coated. Remove and in the plate with panko crumbs. Flip and roll fish until coated with crumbs. Repeat with remaining pieces of fish.
