FISH & CHIPS WITH DIPPING SAUCE
My husband and I really like fish and chips, but not all the grease that typically comes along with it. I decided to give the classic dinner a makeover. Turns out the pickle dip is healthier than tartar sauce, and we like it a lot better-who knew? -Michelle Lucas, Cold Spring, Kentucky

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake until knife-tender, 30 to 45 minutes. (If you like, you can do this the night before and refrigerate the potatoes until ready to cut and fry.) Cut each potato into 6 or 8 wedges, depending on size.

CRISPY BAKED FISH WITH TARTAR SAUCE
Charming fish shacks and salty sea air aren't a weeknight possibility for most of us, but thankfully, this recipe is. It features a clever technique from recipe developer Molly Kreuger: Creamy tartar sauce is spread on the fish to add flavor, keep the fillets moist during cooking and help the bread crumbs adhere to the fish. (Feel free to use your favorite tartar sauce in place of the one below.) The fish is baked until nearly cooked through, then broiled to toast the breadcrumb topping. The end result is crispy, creamy, tangy and moist, all of which is achieved without having to deal with a big pot of oil. Eat with more tartar sauce and a squeeze of lemon.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the upper part. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, capers, pickles, herbs and Worcestershire sauce. Using a Microplane, finely grate the garlic into the bowl, then grate in the zest of the lemon. (Hold onto the lemon; you'll use the juice later.) Stir to combine and season the tartar sauce to taste with salt and lots of pepper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the panko and olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
- Pat the fish dry on all sides and season lightly all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to a lightly greased or foil-lined sheet pan. Coat the top with a thin layer of the tartar sauce (a scant tablespoon per fillet). Sprinkle the panko evenly on top (about 2 tablespoons per fillet), pressing gently to adhere.
- Bake the fish on the top rack until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes for fillets between ½- and ¾-inch-thick (though you should check earlier, if using a thinner fish). An instant-read thermometer should read somewhere between 125 and 130 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the fish.
- Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon juice from the lemon to the tartar sauce and cut the remaining lemon into 4 wedges for serving.
- When the fish is nearly cooked through, switch the oven to broil. Broil the fish on the top rack until the bread crumbs are golden and the fish flakes easily and registers 140 degrees in the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes. Eat with a spoonful of tartar sauce, more black pepper and a squeeze of lemon. (Any extra tartar sauce will keep for up to a week in the fridge.)
TARTAR SAUCE I
Simple tartar sauce for deep fried seafood. It is better if prepared several hours before you will be using it, but it can be used immediately. Store for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Tips:
- To make the perfect beer batter, use a combination of light and dark beer. This will give the batter a balanced flavor and a crispy texture.
- Make sure the fish is dry before coating it in the batter. This will help the batter adhere to the fish and prevent it from falling off during frying.
- Fry the fish in hot oil. This will help create a crispy outer layer and a tender, flaky interior.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
- Serve the fish and chips immediately with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
Conclusion:
This recipe for healthy fish and chips with tartar sauce is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. The fish is crispy and flaky, the chips are golden brown and fluffy, and the tartar sauce is tangy and creamy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
