Method

Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tempura Batter

    In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Cod

    Dip each cod fillet into the tempura batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered cod in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Parmesan Fries

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut the russet potatoes into thin fries.

  2. 5

    Season the Fries

    In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 6

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the fries on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden. Remove from oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese immediately.

Coleslaw

  1. 7

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot.

  2. 8

    Make the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 9

    Combine and Chill

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss well to combine, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tartar Sauce

  1. 10

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Serve

  1. 11

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, place the crispy tempura cod alongside a generous serving of Parmesan fries and a side of coleslaw. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
