Method
- Preheat the oven to 190C, gas 5 and line or grease two baking trays.
- First, make the tartare sauce. Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl, adding salt and pepper to taste (you may not need much salt as the capers are salty). Set aside until needed.
- Chop the potatoes into 'chunky chip'-sized pieces, leaving the skin on. Place in a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down slightly and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Drain and place on one of the baking trays. Coat with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Meanwhile, prepare the fish. Mix the dill with the breadcrumbs and lemon rind in a shallow bowl. Put the flour and beaten egg in 2 separate shallow bowls. Dust each fillet of fish in flour, then dip in the beaten egg and then the breadcrumb mix and place on the prepared baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness of the fillets.
- Serve the fish with the chunky chips and tartare sauce.
