I love fish-and-chips, but my waistline does not. This is a lighter version based on a method of cooking fish developed by Evalene Spencer of the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries in 1934, according to the Encyclopedia of Fish Cookery You’ll need a good hot oven—the temperature should get up to 500 degrees F.

Serves 4

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup milk
Finely sifted Italian flavored bread crumbs
2 teaspoons paprika, divided use
2 pounds haddock fillets, cut into 4 pieces
6 medium russet potatoes, cut lengthwise into eighths and
patted dry
Nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
Lemon wedges, for serving
Tartar sauce (recipe follows), for serving

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil.
In a bowl, stir the fine salt into the milk until dissolved. Place this to the left of your work area.
Combine the bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon of the paprika on a plate or in a shallow bowl. Place this to the right of your work area.
Using one hand to dip the fish into the salted milk, and the other hand for the dry ingredients, dip each piece of haddock into the milk, and then roll it gently in the crumbs with your dry hand. Place on a baking dish.
Add the potatoes to the baking dish. Spray everything generously with nonstick spray, Sprinkle the coarse salt and remaining paprika on the potatoes and bake for 10 minutes, turning the fish gently after 5 minutes and stirring the potatoes.
