AIR FRYER FISH AND CHIPS

2 large egg whites
70 g packages salt and vinegar potato chips (about 4 cups), crushed (I used sea salt and white balsamic vinegar flavour)
750 g cod fillets, cut into 75 mm pieces (I used hake)
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for spraying, divided
450 g frozen peas, thawed
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
kosher salt and pepper
oven chips

Heat the air fryer to 205 ºC.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg whites and one tablespoon water.
Place the chips in a second shallow bowl.
Dip the fish in the egg whites, letting excess drip off, then in crushed chips, pressing gently to help to adhere.
Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil, arrange the fish and chips in the basket, and air fry until the fish and chips are golden brown and opaque throughout for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, microwave peas on medium heat for two minutes.
Toss with lemon zest and juice, one tablespoon oil, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper, then mash the peas.
Serve with fish.
