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.
