What Makes This Fish & Chips Recipe a Healing Elixir?

This upgraded Fish & Chips uses wild-caught cod rich in omega-3 fatty acids to support heart and brain health. The batter is gluten-free, light, and crispy, made with chickpea flour and sparkling water for better digestion. Sweet potato fries are infused with anti-inflammatory turmeric and fresh herbs. A fermented garlic aioli adds gut-friendly probiotics and immunity-boosting benefits. Every ingredient is carefully chosen to balance flavor, nutrition, and healing power.

  • Wild cod: High-quality lean protein and omega-3s
  • Chickpea flour batter: Gluten-free, fiber-rich, and easy to digest
  • Sweet potato fries: Low glycemic, rich in beta-carotene and antioxidants
  • Turmeric & rosemary: Powerful natural anti-inflammatory herbs
  • Fermented garlic aioli: Supports gut health and immune function
  • Lemon zest & seaweed flakes: Adds vitamin C and trace minerals

Ingredients

  • 4 wild-caught cod fillets (6 oz each), skin removed and patted dry
  • 1 cup chickpea (besan) flour
  • 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup sparkling water or cold coconut water
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thick fries
  • 1 tbsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 lemon (zested and cut into wedges)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Seaweed flakes or dulse powder, for garnish

Fermented Garlic Aioli

  • 1/2 cup vegan mayo or homemade cashew mayo
  • 2 tsp fermented garlic paste or mashed black garlic
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep the sweet potato fries: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potato fries with olive oil, turmeric, rosemary, and a pinch of sea salt. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  2. Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk chickpea flour, baking powder, sea salt, smoked paprika, and sparkling water until smooth and thick enough to coat fish.
  3. Prepare the cod: Pat dry the cod fillets with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off gently.
  4. Fry the fish: Heat 3 inches of avocado oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place battered cod into hot oil in batches, frying for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Mix the aioli: In a small bowl, combine vegan mayo, fermented garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy.
  6. Assemble and serve: Plate the crispy cod over turmeric sweet potato fries. Sprinkle fresh parsley and seaweed flakes. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with fermented garlic aioli on the side.
