"Good for You" Fish N Chips by E. Seaton

this was SO EASY and super tasty. my family LOVED it.

i added a few red pepper flakes to the "sauce" (to give it a little kick) - i would recommend that for sure.

i used mahi mahi...from tj's...super easy and tasty. i know my sis has used hailbut....and tilapia is anothergood one to use as well.

1/2 cup light sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
1 shallot, finely chopped
Salt and pepper
2 sweet potatoes (1 1/2 pounds), each cut into 12 wedges
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Cooking spray
1/3 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
3/4 cup buttermilk

Four 5-ounce skinless, boneless tilapia fillets, each cut lengthwise into thirds

1. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450°. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

2. On a foil-lined baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil and 1 tablespoon parsley; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer and bake on the lower rack until tender and crisp around the edges, about 20 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, coat another foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, breadcrumbs, the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

In another bowl, combine the buttermilk and fish, turning to coat. Working with 1 piece at a time, coat the fish with the cornmeal mixture; transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Spray the fish with cooking spray; bake on the upper rack until golden-brown, 12 to 14 minutes.

Serve with the fries, dipping sauce and lemon wedges.
