Tilapia has a mild, subtle flavour with wide appeal. For the most sustainable choice, opt for tilapia that's farmed from North America, Ecuador or Indonesia. Sprinkle the crispy fillets with chopped fresh parsley just before serving, if desired. Cost: $3.10 per serving

Method
Oven Fries: On lightly greased rimmed baking sheet, toss together potatoes, oil, salt and pepper. Roast in 425°F (220°C) oven, turning once, until potatoes are golden and tender, about 25 minutes.Crispy Tilapia: While potatoes are roasting, in shallow dish, stir together cornmeal, chili powder and parsley. Sprinkle tilapia with salt and pepper; dredge in cornmeal mixture, turning to coat.
In nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium heat; cook half of the tilapia, turning once, until fish flakes easily when tested, about 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining oil and tilapia.
Lemon-Herb Mayo: While tilapia is cooking, in small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice and garlic. Serve with tilapia and oven fries.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: Set the first batch of cooked fish on a rack while you're frying the second batch. This prevents the coating from becoming soggy.
