Baked Fish Sticks with Parmesan Oven Fries

Categories: Fish- Seafood

Ingredients

• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• Salt and ground black pepper
• 10 oz. medium-firm white fish, such as halibut
• 2 to 4 Tbsp. olive oil, divided use
• 2 lb. red-skinned potatoes, cut into sticks like French fries
• 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 2 Tbsp. chopped Italian parsley
• Arugula, for serving (optional)
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, mix the breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Cut fish into about 12 sticklike pieces (about 1/2 inch thick by 1 inch wide), coat fish in 1 to 2 Tbsp. of the olive oil, and dredge each piece in the breadcrumbs. Place fish sticks on the smaller cookie sheet, set aside.

4. Place the potato pieces on the large cookie sheet, drizzle with 1 to 2 Tbsp. of the remaining olive oil, and toss with your hands, making sure to evenly spread out the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for about 45 minutes, making sure to check on them frequently and toss them so they brown evenly.

5. When the potatoes are nearly done, put them on the bottom rack of your oven and place the fish on the middle rack. Let the fish cook for a few minutes; then carefully turn each stick and cook for 2 more minutes (or to desired doneness). Then remove everything from the oven.

6. Sprinkle parmesan and parsley all over the fries, and serve with a handful of arugula and a lemon wedge to squeeze over the top.
