Oven baked fish and chips recipe on the sheet pan for an appetizer or finger foods ideas. Easy, kids friendly meal, dairy-free, healthy.
Having one picky eater in the family and dealing with a food allergy is challenging somehow. My daughter loves finger food, but actually who doesn’t like finger food, right? Anyway, I make the fish and chips on meal rotation every week. Because this finger food is so simple to make, and she always eats it without me sitting, begging, and waiting in front of her to finish her meal.
The reason why this fish and chips is so easy to make because I baked it instead of frying. There is no need to deal with oil splatter all over the stove and backsplash. I also bake everything on my favorite baking sheet.

- 4 tilapia
- 4 yellow potato
- 3 tbsp grapeseed oil
- 2 cups breadcrumb
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- salt
-
Cut the tilapia into smaller pieces. I cut it into four pieces per fish. Season the fish with salt. Leave it for about 15 minutes.
-
While waiting for the fish ready, preheat the oven to 400° F, prepare the sheet pan and line it with parchment paper.
-
Peel of the potato skin and cut it into wedges. Season it with salt and 1 tbsp oil.
-
Arrange the potato wedge on the sheet pan, bake it in the oven for 15 minutes, turn it halfway done.
-
Prepare two bowls, one for breadcrumb and garlic powder and the other one for the whisked egg.
-
Put the fish on the breadcrumb then on the whisked egg, then back to the breadcrumb mixture, make sure the fish coated thoroughly. Repeat the process until all fish covered with the breadcrumb.
-
Use the same pan, push the potato wedge to the side, arrange the fish on the pan, drizzle the fish with the rest of the oil, or you can use cooking spray. Return the sheet pan to the oven. Bake it for 25 minutes, turn the fish halfway done until the fish cooked through, and the potato has a crispy edge.
-
Serve the fish and chips with ketchup or your favorite tartar sauce.
- I use grapeseed oil because the food doesn't get burnt easily. I used sunflower oil and canola oil before, and the fish got burn edge before it cooks through.

Oh you used tilapia for this recipe! I should ask the fishmonger to fillet the tilapia for me. We always buy the whole fish and fry it.

Fish and chips is like a comfort food for me. I love it with some tartare sauce!
Oh yes, serve the fish with tartar sauce is like a perfect pair!

Like you, I tend to bake everything to avoid the oily mess and of course it is better for you. I try to substitute real potatoes out with sweet potatoes once in awhile I just sprinkle some seasoning on them and we’re good to go. Thanks for the other recipes also I’ll be trying some.
Thank you, we love sweet potato too, baking them is way better, definitely.
Yesssss. One of the only meals my whole family loves!
For sure, fish and chips always the winner!

Thank you, they would love it for sure!
Yum, love that it is baked!
Thank you. Yes it is.
This looks really good! I kind of want to make it right now. I bet this would be good in an air fryer.
Thank you, I think it will be crispier if you cook it in the air fryer.
it’s nice to see a kid-friendly meal that is also healthy. There is so much junk out there. I’m also a huge fan of baking things. Much easier and less mess!
Thank you, same here, baking is way better than frying.
I never had baked fish and chips, looks yummy!
Thank you, baked fish is much better, less oil on it!
I love that this is baked and not fried. I may have to try this recipe with my two picky eaters.
Thank you, yea I give up the frying method, baked them is so much better, I hope they like it as much as we do.
I’ll have to make these for my family, I’m sure they will love it. I love meals where my kiddos eat them without it being a fight.
Thank you, I feel you, same here, it is like a never ending battle to get the picky eater eat their food, lol.
I love baked over fried! Can no longer handle the grease …. great recipe!

Thank you, oh I love fresh caught fish too!
Thanks for the tip on the oil! I always just assume I left it in too long and never thought about the type of oil contributing to burned food!
Thank you, yes I tried it with any other oil before, it make different depending what oil we use for cooking.
This looks so delicious! I love fish and chips, but am trying to not eat super fried food. I love that it is baked!
Thank you, bake it is way better than frying, no need to deal with the oil splatter around the stove.
Love this recipe. I always bake instead of fry, because it’s much healthier and not as messy! Or I use my air fryer!
Thank you, I love airfryer too, fries is so crispy this way!
This looks soooo good! I miss fish and chips (white fish and I do not get along anymore), but your pics look so appetizing!!
Thank you, sorry to hear that, you could replace it with chicken instead.
My husband is from England. I’m going to try to see if he likes this healthier option. ?
Oh, I am curious too, let me know how it goes, I hope he agree with it!
I’ll have to try with tilapia. Haddock and cod is boring, ha!
Oh, I have never try haddock, hehe. Cod is a bit chewy I think, and tilapia has a soft but firm texture.
Ugh, I want this right NOW, this is my type of meal. I know what ill be getting ingredients for tonight 🙂
It is a comfort meal for sure, sound like a delicious meal coming up for dinner tonight!
I don’t eat fish but those do look good!
Thank you, it does!
