Ingredients

• 500 grams white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or pollock)
• 120 grams panko breadcrumbs
• 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 medium-sized (about 800 grams) butternut squash
• 500 grams baby potatoes
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 for serving lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Start by prepping the squash and potatoes. Peel and seed the butternut squash, then cut it into 1-inch cubes. Halve the baby potatoes.

Step 3

Place the squash and potatoes on one of the prepared baking sheets. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Bake the squash and potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown and tender.

Step 5

While the vegetables roast, prepare the fish. Cut the fish fillets into 1-inch-wide strips.

Step 6

Set up a breading station. Place the flour on a shallow plate. In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a third shallow bowl.

Step 7

Lightly season the fish strips with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Dredge each strip in the flour, dip it into the egg, and then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with all fish strips.

Step 8

Arrange the breaded fish strips on the second prepared baking sheet. Drizzle or lightly spray with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to help them crisp up.

Step 9

Bake the fish strips in the oven alongside the vegetables for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Flip halfway through baking to ensure even browning.

Step 10

Remove both baking sheets from the oven. Serve the crisp roasted fish strips with the caramelized squash and potatoes, garnished with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
