Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces frozen fish fillets
- 600 grams frozen French fries
- 200 grams fresh spinach
- 250 grams sour cream
- 100 grams cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a large baking dish with a small amount of olive oil.
Spread the frozen French fries evenly on one side of the baking dish and place the frozen fish fillets next to them. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the fries are golden and crispy and the fish is cooked through.
While the fish and fries bake, heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter and add the minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted. Season the spinach with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, then remove it from the heat.
In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream with half of the grated cheddar cheese. Stir until well combined.
Once the fish and chips are cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven. Spread the cooked spinach evenly over the fish fillets, and then top them with the sour cream and cheese mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining grated cheddar cheese over the whole dish (both the fish and fries) for an extra crispy, cheesy layer.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if using, and serve immediately.
