✅ Ingredients:

For the Fish:

2 fish fillets (tilapia, cod, sea bass, or your favorite)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp cumin (optional)

Juice of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

For the Crispy Fries:

2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into thin sticks

2 tbsp cornstarch (for extra crispiness)

2 tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil)

Salt to taste

Optional: paprika or chili flakes

 

Instructions:

1. Prep the Fries:

Soak potato sticks in cold water for 30 minutes (removes starch for crispier fries).

Drain and pat dry.

Toss fries in cornstarch, then drizzle with oil, salt, and paprika if using.

2. Bake or Air-Fry Fries:

Oven method: Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 30–40 minutes, flipping halfway.

Air fryer: Cook at 200°C (390°F) for 18–20 minutes, shaking halfway through.

3. Prepare the Fish:

Mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Brush over both sides of the fish fillets.

Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.

4. Grill the Fish:

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill on medium-high heat.

Cook the fillets for 3–4 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and cooked through.

5. Serve:

Plate the grilled fish with a side of crispy fries.

Sprinkle fresh parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon.
