New Recipe Review- Fish N'Chips

For my new recipe last week, I tried Rachael Ray's "better for you" Fish N' Chips. It was a slightly healthier version of the traditional favorite.

It was pretty good. It uses sweet potatoes for the fries, and bakes them instead of frying which I was so excited about- I love sweet potato fries! I used a bit onion powder, garlic powder, and cajun seasoning instead of the salt and pepper in the recipe, and I was glad I did- perfect combination! Sorry for such a blurry picture...

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup light sour cream
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
  
  
• Salt and pepper
• 2 sweet potatoes (1 1/2 pounds), each cut into 12 wedges
• 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  
  
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
• Cooking spray
• 1/3 cup cornmeal
• 1/3 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• Four 5-ounce skinless, boneless tilapia fillets, each cut lengthwise into thirds

Directions:

1. 
   Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450°. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
   
2. 
   On a foil-lined baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil and 1 tablespoon parsley; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer and bake on the lower rack until tender and crisp around the edges, about 20 minutes.
   
3. 
   Meanwhile, coat another foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, breadcrumbs, the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk and fish, turning to coat. Working with 1 piece at a time, coat the fish with the cornmeal mixture; transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Spray the fish with cooking spray; bake on the upper rack until golden-brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve with the fries, dipping sauce and lemon wedges.
