Wasabi Ginger Fish Fillets | Big Hero 6

          Six-foot-four Wasabi-no Ginger (voiced by Damon Waynes, Jr. ["no" is a particle in Japanese grammar]) is a martial arts pro and a neat-freak. His area of expertise is lasers–because of their clean precision–and when he goes hero, plasma lasers spring from his gloves like giant Ginsus to cut through anything in his way. In the original Marvel comics, upon which Disney's "Big Hero 6" is loosely based, Wasabi is a Japanese sushi master whose real name is unknown.


Wasabi-no-Ginger's Wasabi Ginger Chip-Crusted Fish Fillets

Ingredients:
4 Skinless Cod Fillets, defrosted if bought frozen
1/3 Cup Mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. Wasabi Paste
1/2 tsp. Fresh Ground Ginger
3/4 Cup Well-Crumbled Kettle Cooked Potato Chips, preferably Lay's Wasabi Ginger, but Salt & Vinegar will work fine.
Pinch of Salt

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400ºF & line a baking tray with foil or parchment paper. Pat the fish fillets dry & lay them on the tray. In a small bowl combine the mayo, wasabi paste, ginger, & salt. Spoon & spread the mixture over the fish fillets & then generously press on the chip crumbles. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes when poked with a fork. Great served with a Baymax onigiri (rice ball)–recipe here.
