Instructions
- 1
For the fish:
- 2
Preheat the oven to 220 C (425 F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the 2 tbsp of olive oil. Add the panko breadcrumbs, the dried oregano, paprika, garlic, and black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly until crumbs have turned golden brown, around 5 minutes. When this happens, immediately transfer them to a bowl.
- 4
In a separate bowl whisk together the Dijon mustard and eggs until well combined. Place flour in a third bowl.
- 5
Sprinkle the fish fillets evenly all over with salt and pepper. Dredge them by coating them first in the flour mixture, then the mustard mixture, then coating them in the panko breadcrumbs. Make sure they are all evenly coated. Transfer fish pieces to your parchment lined baking sheet. You can bake immediately or store in the fridge for up to 4 hours.

For the fries:
- 7
Add the sliced potatoes to a large pot and fill with cold water. Add the salt and vinegar. Heat water over medium high heat, and when it comes to a boil let the potatoes boil for 5 minutes before draining them. Dry very thoroughly, patting dry with paper towels. Let them cool just a couple minutes for easier handling.
- 8
In a large bowl, toss together the olive oil, salt, pepper, and par-boiled potato strips until evenly coated. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Bake on the upper rack of the oven for 10-15 minutes, then use a metal spatula and toss them around. Transfer the baking pan to the lower rack in the oven.

At this point, put your fish into the oven onto the upper rack of the oven. Bake for another 15 minutes or until fish is flakey and golden and potatoes crispy and browned.
