My boyfriend and I follow a food blog called Foodwishes; Allrecipes.com sponsors this chef to showcase some of the recipes on their website. He adds way too much salt but boy oh boy does his food look delicious! For this meal, we were inspired by his steak fries. We then balanced the starch with baked breaded perch and bacon Brussels sprouts. It was very little prep and quite delicious! The perch was on sale and that is why we chose it but we should have opted for haddock or cod, they stay moist and are more flavourful than perch.
Our slightly healthier version of the steak fries
Ingredients
2 medium russet potatoes
2-3 tbsp vegetable oil
pepper
pinch of cayenne
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
Method
1. Preheat oven at 325 F
2. Wash and cut the potatoes in thick wedges.
3. In a medium bowl, coat the wedges with the oil, sprinkle with pepper and cayenne.
4. Place on a baking sheet and cook for 40 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through.
5. Turn up the heat to 450 F for 10-20 minutes.
Bacon Brussels sprouts
Ingredients
1 strip of bacon
2 cups of Brussels sprouts, fresh or frozen
pepper
Method
1. Heat the pan at medium.
2. During that time, thinly slice the bacon. Add to pan.
3. If you are using fresh Brussels sprouts, wash, core and slice them in half.
4. Once bacon is almost cooked, add the Brussels sprouts. Cover and cook for another 10-15 minutes or until the sprouts are ready; stirring occasionally.
Breaded fish
Ingredients
4 fish filets
about 1/2 cup of flour
1 egg
about 3/4 cup of panko breadcrumbs
cayenne, pepper (or your favourite spices)
Method
1. The oven will already be heated at 450 F, turn it down to 375 F once the potatoes are out.
2. For the breading station, put the flour, the egg and the bread crumbs in 3 separate medium bowls (or plates). Season the flour with cayenne and pepper (don't hesitate to put extra) and beat the egg.
3. Coat each filet with seasonned flour, then egg and finally panko.
4. Place the breaded filets on a cooking sheet. Cook for 10 minutes.
