Make

  1. Heat oven to 500F / 260C.
  2. Combine oil (the portion for the vegetables), maple syrup and mustard. Toss with carrots and parsnips and spread on a sheet pan. Cover tightly with foil and ‘steam’ in oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the foil and continue roasting until golden and tender, 10 to 12 minutes more.
  3. While vegetables roast, dip fish pieces into egg and then almond meal. (If you’re using containers with lids, you can just dump all the fish into each container, close lid, and shake to coat.) Continue until all fish pieces are breaded.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add second part of cooking oil and then cook fish on each side for ~4 minutes, until breading is golden and fish is opaque when sliced.
  5. Drizzle some lemon juice on the fish. Season slaw with some salt and pepper. Serve fish over slaw and enjoy with vegetable sticks on the side.
