Ingredients
2 packets 200g Ferguson King George whiting, thawed in the refrigerator overnight
1 large sweet potato, sliced into 1cm fingers
1 sprig rosemary

Large handful salad leaves

Crumbed King George Whiting with Sweet Potato Chips

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the sweet potato onto a large baking tray and add the rosemary leaves, a generous pinch of salt, and half of the olive oil. Mix to combine, before spreading the sweet potato into a single layer, and placing in the oven. Cook for 35-40 minutes, tossing the sweet potato occasionally, until very golden.

In the meantime, place the flour onto a large plate with a pinch of salt and pepper. To a separate large place add the breadcrumbs. In a large bowl add the eggs and ½ cup water, and whisk to combine. A few fillets at a time, toss the King George Whiting in flour, dip into the egg, and coat in breadcrumbs.

Line a baking tray with non-stick paper, and place the crumbed whiting onto the tray. When the sweet potato chips have 5 minutes remaining, place the King George Whiting in the oven. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

As the fish is cooking, place the salad leaves, cherry tomatoes and red onion into a mixing bowl. Add the remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and toss to combine. To serve, divide the salad, sweet potato chips, and crumbed King George Whiting between four plates.
