4 servings

30 minutes

Cod fillet in a crispy potato chip crust with tartar sauce is an amazing combination of crunchy texture and tender fish flavor. This recipe is inspired by American cuisine, where comfort food is often paired with unusual yet simple ingredients. Potato chips create a crispy golden crust that contrasts with the juicy and soft cod. Mayonnaise not only helps the chips stick to the fish but also adds creaminess. The tartar sauce with tangy notes of pickles, shallots, and Dijon mustard perfectly complements the dish's flavor, bringing a light acidity and depth. It's the perfect dish for a family dinner or a cozy evening when you want something simple yet exquisite.
