- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Finely Ground Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Ground Paprika
- 1 Egg White
- 30mL Soda Water
- 25g Panko Breadcrumbs
- 5mL Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
- 175g Potato Spud Lite

- 15g Fat-Free Mayonnaise
- 5g Pickles
- 5g Minced Garlic
- 10mL Lemon Juice

Method:
- Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp paprika.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg with sparkling water to create a light batter.
- Dip each fish fillet into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then dip it into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs.
- Lightly spray the top of the fish with oil and air fry at 200°C for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Toss the potato strips with cornflour, a light spray of olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp paprika.
- Arrange the fries in a single layer in the air fryer and cook at 200°C for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- To make the tartare sauce, place yoghurt, mayonnaise, pickle, garlic, lemon juice, white vinegar, dill, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix until well combined.
