Prep: 15 min/ Bake: 45 min

May the road rise up to meet you, and may the wind be at your back! That’s right, today is St. Patrick’s Day; a day where everyone can put aside their differences, slap on some green, and toast to the finer things in life. While Guinness and Jameson may be at the top of everyone’s list as St. Patty’s staples, we can’t forget about the cuisine! Bangers and Mash and Shepherds Pie usually come to mind first, but those aren’t necessarily the most conducive if you’re trying to follow a nutrition plan. No worries though, we’ve got you covered with a twist on another common dish sure to be filling the pubs today: fish and chips! We’ve got the craic on how to take this old favorite and dress it up a bit to make it more friendly to your gains, without having to sacrifice flavor (or your macro count for the day). Sláinte!

Potatoes:

2 pounds russet potatoes, washed

Salt and pepper

Olive oil cooking spray

Fish:

2 pounds orange roughy or any other firm white fish such as cod or haddock

1 ¼ cup gluten free flour, I actually used gluten free Kodiak Cake pancake mix because it was in the pantry

3 egg whites

⅓ cup dijon mustard

2 cups of gluten free panko or crushed up rice cereal

1 TBS minced garlic

Salt and pepper

Condiments:

Malt Vinegar

Lemon

Ketchup

Tartar Sauce

Parsley

Tacticalories Fire Salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500 degrees
Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil for easy clean up and spray with cooking spray. One for the potatoes, and one for the fish.
Wash and slice the russet potatoes, spray with cooking spray, and salt and pepper to taste. Once the oven is heated, bake for 25-35 minutes depending on your desired crispiness
While the potatoes are baking, start on the fish.
In a saute pan, toast the bread crumbs and garlic for about 5 minutes over medium heat and then move to a bowl.
Cut the fish into 2-4 ounce portions depending on the size pieces you like. Out of the 2 pounds of orange roughy, I had 12 pieces that were generally the same size.
Whisk together the egg whites and dijon mustard in a second bowl
In a third bowl put the gluten free flour or pancake mix
It is now time to assemble!
Lightly coat the fish in the GF flour, then into the wet mixture of egg white and dijon, and finally coat it in the toasted panko and garlic mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Once all the fish is prepped, drop the oven temperature to 425 and bake for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley, salt to taste, and a squeeze of lemon is delicious!
