Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) sweet potato
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1/8 tsp (0.5g) black pepper
  • 1 lb (450g) white fish fillets (Tilapia, Cod, or Grouper)
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) paprika
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt

Instructions:

  1. Mash the sweet potato until velvety smooth. Stir in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until the color is uniform.
  2. Pat the fish fillets bone-dry with paper towels to ensure the crust adheres.
  3. Rub the olive oil, paprika, and salt over the tops of the fillets.
  4. Using a spoon, spread a generous layer of the sweet potato mixture over the top of each fillet and press down gently.
  5. Place the fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.
  6. Optional: Turn on the broiler for the final 2 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the crust is slightly charred.
