Fish and chips is right up there with chocolate cake and red wine when it comes to slightly guilty but very indulgent pleasures. When planning something just a little more elegant though, it might not exactly be the best placed dish. Unless, that is, we make it into something a little more special. Fish and chips with an upmarket twist served with a chilled glass of white wine.
Now, this could just as well be made with a white fish like cod or haddock (this would reduce the cooking times), but why not take it a step further and go with salmon? With the crunchy breadcrumbs, fresh parsley, lemon and butter, and served with roasted baby potatoes, this dish will not only wow any guest, but is also just a bit healthier than the traditional version.
2 salmon side filets
40g breadcrumbs
10g finely chopped parsley
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Salt & Pepper
2tbsp olive oil
