Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200C. In a mixing bowl, toss together your sweet potato chips with the oil and seasonings. Arrange on a lined baking tray and place in the oven to bake for 35 minutes, or until crisp.
Step 2
In the meantime, make your fish. Stir together all dry ingredients in a bowl, along with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Dunk each fillet of fish into the egg, then roll into the ground almond mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Place into a pan and gently fry for a few minutes on each side, or until lightly golden. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Step 3
Once your chips have been cooking for 20 minutes, turn them, then place the fish on a separate tray into the oven beside them. Bake until the fish is cooked through (around 15 minutes).
Step 4
In the meantime, make your peas. Gently heat the oil in a pan, then add the peas. Cook until defrosted, then place into a blender with the remaining ingredients and pulse until you reach desired consistency.
Step 5
Serve the cooked fish alongside crispy sweet potato chips and mushy peas.
