This is considered a treat in our house, even though it is far far healthier than anything you could buy in the chippy! It is also very quick and easy to make. To make a change use sweet potatoes for your wedges instead of ordinary potatoes.
Gluten-free Fish and chips
Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Egg-free, Nut-free, Soya-free
Ingredients
- 500 g white fish fillets
- 2 slices of gluten-free bread check depending on diet
- 1 tsp washed capers
- 1 handful black pitted olives
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of half a lemon or a tsp of 'jif' lemon
- Pepper for seasoning
- 2 large potatoes or 3-4 smaller ones
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Method
-
Cut the potatoes into smallish wedges or chips (chips will cook quicker!). Place in a bowl with the oil and mix well. Spread out on a baking sheet and place in a pre-heated oven at 200 degrees for approx. 30-45 mins depending on the size of the wedges/chips.
-
Meanwhile, put the bread, capers and olives in a food processor or handheld chopper and whizz until you have breadcrumbs. You may need to do this in 2 batches depending on the size of your chopper!
-
Mix the lemon juice and olive oil into the breadcrumb mixture in a large bowl
-
Spoon the breadcrumb mixture onto the fish fillets on a baking tray making sure there are no bits of fish showing as these will dry out otherwise
-
Bake in the same oven as the chips for 10-15 minutes until cooked through (depends on the size of the fish)
-
Serve with the home-made potato wedges and whatever vegetables are acceptable to your little one (or big one – being your partner!)

I’m excited to try this as many of my gf fish recipes haven’t gone to plan… Just wondering how the breadcrumbs stick to the fish? I always have trouble getting it to look this perfect and make a mess!

Hi Fiona! Thanks for your comment. Just make sure you press the breadcrumbs down well onto the top of the fish (not squashing the fish though!). My daughter (5) did this with my husband so it really can’t be difficult!!!! If they can do it anyone can – ha ha!
