Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Baked Fish and Sweet Potato Wedges.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
While it warms up, grab a 10x15-inch baking pan and line it with foil, giving it a light spritz of nonstick cooking spray to ensure nothing sticks.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy Greek yogurt, fresh sliced green onions, zesty lime juice, half a teaspoon of kosher salt, and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 4
Stir in a generous handful of shredded coleslaw mix, cover the bowl, and let it chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Step 5
This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 6
Next, let’s prepare those sweet potato wedges.
Step 7
Arrange them on your prepared baking pan, drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with chili powder and a quarter teaspoon of salt.
Step 8
Toss everything together until the wedges are evenly coated, then pop them in the oven to bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they’re tender and have a lovely golden-brown hue.
Step 9
While the sweet potatoes are baking, it’s time to focus on the fish.
Step 10
Rinse your fish fillets under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 11
In a shallow dish, whisk together a beaten egg and a tablespoon of water.
Step 12
In another shallow dish, mix crushed cereal with the remaining quarter teaspoon of salt and black pepper for a crunchy coating.
Step 13
Now, dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, and then coat it in the cereal mixture, ensuring every bit is covered for that perfect crunch.
Step 14
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 15
Once the oil is shimmering, add the coated fish fillets and cook for about 3 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 16
Carefully flip the fish over, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
Step 17
Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, revealing its tender, juicy interior.
Step 18
When everything is ready, serve your crispy fish alongside the sweet potato wedges and that refreshing chilled coleslaw.
Step 19
Enjoy this delightful meal that’s not only delicious but also packed with vibrant flavors and textures!.
