14 Independent & Free Press,Thursday, April 21, 2011 DIRECTORY BOOKKEEPING & TAX PREPARATION START What's Cookin': Fish and chips is a simple easy-to-do favourite dinner Happy Easter weekend everyone! Gerry and I thought a little fish recipe might be appropriate, since many of you will be eating fish on Good Friday-- and the rest of us just might be interested in getting in a tasty fish dish sometime soon! I am a fish and chips lover--but not the battered and deep fried kind. So today we've shown you a photo of pan-seared tilapia, homemade fries and chipotle mayonnaise. The only thing you really need a recipe for is the chipotle mayonnaise-- so that's what you've got. As for the fish and chips-- it's simple! Rinse and pat dry one fish filet per person. Heat a non-stick pan with a drizzle of oil. Get it nice and hot. Season fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Add fish to the hot pan and sear until you have good colour on that side, flip and sear on the other side, then pop the whole pan into a preheated 400 degree oven until the fish is done. Just remember 8-10 minutes of cooking time per inch of thickness. So most tilapia filets will only take about 6-8 minutes. By the time you sear on both sides, it really only needs about 4 minutes in the oven. Once the fish comes out, sprinkle with some chopped fresh herbs--chives are nice. As for the chips, russet potatoes work At Yorkshire Enterprises: Pick-Up & Delivery Available. Call to arrange a meeting.

To peel or not to peel-- that is the question. It's much easier not to peel and we like the skin, but it's up to you. Slice potatoes into long strips and then make sure they are dry, pat with a paper towel if necessary. Then toss in olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake on a baking sheet--DO NOT pile up. If necessary, use more than one pan. Make sure they are well spread out. Then bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for anywhere from 15-45 minutes, depending on how many pans you are making and how thick your strips of potato are. Toss once during cooking-- they should be quite crispy on one side before you flip them. Serve the fish and chips with a heaping serving of the chipotle mayonnaise-- it is delicious! Have fun and keep cooking!
