Pack a punch of crunch into a wholesome family meal by adding crispy-coated fun without deep-frying. In this fun twist on fish and chips, sweet, flaky cod gets a salt-and-vinegar potato-chip crust. Kettle-cooked chips ensure the crispiest results - and kids will have fun smashing them into tiny pieces for the coating. A lemony tartar sauce rounds out the dish.
Ingredients
FOR THE FISH:
- Half of a 5-ounce bag of kettle-cooked salt and vinegar potato chips

- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon minced shallot
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400ยบ. Place the potato chips in a gallon-size ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it lightly with cooking spray. Arrange the fillets on the foil and season them lightly with salt.
- Smear a teaspoon of the mayonnaise over the top of each fillet, then sprinkle on the crushed chips, completely covering the top of each piece.
