Title: chipper cheese fish
Post by mastertangler on Jan 5th, 2011 at 1:31pm
Last night I served this and to a person everyone loved it. I have made it many times and it always goes over well. This recipe will make you look like a "real" cook but it is silly simple. It could translate into the backcountry although I had never tried it there. Instead I just wanted to pass it on to my friends here at QJ.

grab a pack of fish out of the freezer or off the ice 8-)

Crush potato chips fine until you have a couple of cups or so. I get the cheapest, saltiest, greasiest ones I can find. They don't have to be pulverized......I use my hand or the bottom of a stout cup.

Use about 1.5 cups of shredded parmesan cheese. Mix with chips. (not quite a 50/50
mix)

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Get this ratio correct. To much lemon juice is no good.

Dip the fish into the lemon butter and into the chip/cheese mixture and lay into the bottom of a 6x9 baking dish. I like glass and I put down a little spray first.

Take the leftover chips and cheese mixture and sprinkle liberally on top.

Bake at 350 or 375 for 1/2 hour or 45 min or until the chip mixture just starts to crisp up a bit. It won't really get crispy brown but it won't be soggy either.

The funny part about the whole thing is that nobody can figure out what you have used. The first question I get is always........"how did you make this" :question

Couple it with these baked potatoes:
Cut the baker in half lengthwise
add a few pats of butter to one facing
sprinkle some garlic salt on
add a thin slice of onion on top of butter
put tater back together
wrap a slice of bacon around it
wrap in foil and bake longer than you think ;) I like 350 for 2 hours but I use whopper taters. Again simple and quick but mighty tatsty [smiley=thumbup.gif]

BTW Put the tater in something as opposed to laying it directly on a wire rack just in case of a little spillage.
