Jumbo fish finger wrap

This heart-healthy alternative to classic fish fingers can be made with either cod or haddock.

Jumbo fish finger wrap

Meal type: Main meal

Serves: 2

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 15 minutes

1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan/gas mark 6. Cut the cod loin lengthways to give you two long strips. If you have bought pre-packed loins that come as two per pack, you won’t need to cut them. Mix together the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, cayenne, parsley and oil. Use this to coat the fish pieces evenly on all sides, pressing the crumbs over the fish. Lift onto a non-stick baking tray and cook for 15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, place the wraps on a board and top with lamb’s lettuce and tomato slices.

3. Mix together the yoghurt, mayonnaise, cucumber and chives, and drizzle the mixture over the wrap. Lift a cooked fish finger into the centre of the wrap and roll up to serve.

Cook's tips

  • You can use cod or haddock fillets instead of loin, but choose them from the fish counter and ask for the thicker end of the fillet.
  • When buying tortilla wraps, check the nutritional information on packs and choose the lowest salt available.

We really liked this – it was easy to follow and made for a very tasty meal. We put the wraps in the microwave for about 15 seconds to warm slightly and to make them easier to wrap into shape.
