Think about Fish & Chips, a classic favorite loved by so many, even those who don't usually enjoy fish.

Plaice, one of the most popular fish used for Fish & Chips, is the star of our dish today. By using fresh herbs, aromatic lemon zest, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, we'll create a beautiful crust that perfectly complements the tender, mild flavor of the plaice fillet.
This recipe is a wonderful way to enjoy the best of both worlds—comforting and familiar, yet light and healthy.

List of Ingredients:
2 plaice fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh parsley (a small handful)
2 sage leaves
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Zest of half a lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
8 baby plum tomatoes (or any variety of small tomatoes)
8 - 10 green pitted olives
2 bay leaves
Extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
Cooking Instructions:
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C if it's fan-assisted, or 200°C if it's conventional. While the oven is heating up, take your plaice fillets and drizzle them with a little olive oil, ensuring that both sides are well-coated, including the skin.
Next, let's prepare the marinade. Chop a small handful of fresh parsley and a couple of sage leaves until they’re finely minced. Add these herbs to a bowl with the breadcrumbs, the zest of half a lemon, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together well.
Now, take one fillet and place it in the breadcrumb mixture, turning it over to ensure it’s fully coated on both sides. Place the fillet on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and repeat with the second fillet. Sprinkle any remaining breadcrumbs over the top, and then add a generous layer of grated Parmesan cheese.
To add some extra flavor and color, halve a few baby plum tomatoes and scatter them over the fish. Chop some green pitted olives and add them to the tray, along with a couple of bay leaves. Finally, drizzle everything with a little extra virgin olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is golden and crispy. Once done, remove the bay leaves and transfer the fillets to a plate. For the final touch, drizzle with some more olive oil, sprinkle with finely chopped parsley, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Serve with a light salad, and enjoy your crispy breaded plaice, Italian style.
