Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 4 large peeled and cut potatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  2. Step 2: While the chips bake, place 4 white fish fillets on a separate baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, prepare tartar sauce by mixing 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp finely chopped dill pickle, 1 tbsp chopped capers, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley in a small bowl until combined.
  4. Step 4: Serve the baked fish alongside the oven chips with the homemade tartar sauce on the side for dipping.
