with Horseradish Tartar Sauce
YIELD Serves 4 | TIME Prep: 25 minutes | Cook: 20 minutes | Total: 45 minutes

INGREDIENTS
For the Horseradish Tartar Sauce
-
½ cup mayonnaise
-
1 tbsp prepared horseradish
-
1 tbsp finely chopped dill pickle
-
1 tsp finely chopped fresh dill
-
1 tsp finely chopped parsley
-
1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
-
½ tsp grated lemon zest
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
½ tsp kosher salt (or ¼ tsp fine sea salt)
For the Fish & Jojos
-
4 tbsp butter
-
1 clove of garlic, finely minced
-
2 cup panko breadcrumbs
-
2 ½ tsp kosher salt (or 1 ¼ tsp fine sea salt)
-
1 tsp black pepper
-
3 large russet or Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed well
-
2 tsp paprika
-
½ cup flour
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
2 eggs
-
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
-
2 lb lingcod fillet
-
Oil spray
-
1 lemon, cut into wedges
PREPARATION
Step 1
Combine the tartar sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Step 2
Preheat your air fryer to 400° F. or your oven to 425° F. If using the oven, position the rack at the top.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the garlic for about 3 minutes, until it begins to turn translucent, and then turn off the heat.
Step 4
Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork or knife, then set them on a microwave-safe dish and cook using the potato setting (or full power for 5 minutes), flipping them halfway through cooking. When they’re cool enough to handle, slice the potatoes lengthwise into ½” thick wedges and then toss them in the other tablespoon of oil and paprika.
Step 5
Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork or knife, then set them on a microwave-safe dish and cook using the potato setting (or full power for 5 minutes), flipping them halfway through cooking. When they’re cool enough to handle, slice the potatoes lengthwise into ½” thick wedges and then toss them in the other tablespoon of oil and paprika.
Step 6
Cut the lingcod into 8 roughly equal pieces and season all over with the other teaspoon of salt. Dredge the fish in the seasoned flour, then the egg, then the panko mix. Spritz the air fryer rack or an oven-proof wire rack set over a rimmed baking tray with cooking spray. Set the breaded lingcod and jojos on the air fryer rack.
Step 7
Spritz cooking spray on the fish and jojos, then cook in the preheated air fryer for 20 minutes, turning halfway to ensure even browning (be careful not to pull off the breading). Season with another sprinkle of salt immediately after removing from the oven, then serve with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

Crispy Lingcod Bites
YIELD Serves 8 (16–20 bites) | TIME Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 15 minutes | Total: 35 minutes

INGREDIENTS
-
1 pound (450 g) lingcod fillet, skinless, cut into 1½–2 inch bite pieces
-
1 pinch (1 g) Kosher salt
-
1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
-
½ cup (60 g) cornstarch (for extra crispness)
-
1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder
-
1 teaspoon (2 g) smoked paprika
-
1 teaspoon (5 g) kosher salt
-
1 cup (240 ml) cold Spanish lager (very cold)
-
1 bowl ice as needed
-
½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
-
1 large garlic clove, finely grated
-
1 teaspoon (2 g) smoked paprika (pimentón)
-
1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice
PREPARATION
Step 1
Prepare the Pimentón Aioli: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, grated garlic, smoked paprika, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, smoked paprika, and kosher salt. To keep the batter light and crispy, place this bowl over a larger bowl filled with ice.
Step 3
Slowly whisk the very cold Spanish lager into the dry ingredients until just combined (a few small lumps are okay—don't overmix).
Step 4
Heat neutral oil in a heavy skillet or deep fryer to 375°F. Pat the lingcod pieces dry and season with a pinch of salt. Dip each piece into the batter, let the excess drip off, and carefully fry in batches for 3–4 minutes until deeply golden and crisp.
Step 5
Drain on a wire rack. Serve the hot lingcod bites with a generous dollop of the Pimentón Aioli on top or on the side for dipping.
