Healthier fish finger sarnie

This is a paid advertorial for Tesco

This tantalising update on the classic fish finger sandwich is made with salmon to boost your intake of omega-3, boasts a wholemeal crumb and is stuffed into a ciabatta with freshly cooked peas and a crunchy, low-fat slaw.

So as well as being super tasty, this fish finger sarnie is healthier too!

This recipe is from Tesco, who has teamed up with celebrity chef Jamie Oliver to create three simple recipes that show just how delicious and affordable healthier food can be.

I think you’ll agree that while we all want to be serving up healthier meals, sometimes it can feel hard to find the time or budget. I love that the Tesco / Jamie Oliver partnership is all about challenging that by proving that meals that are healthy needn’t be more time consuming and can be just as accessible and affordable.

This fabulously-fetching fish finger sandwich ticks those boxes. It’s simple and efficient to make, with no fancy ingredients and using lots of fresh veg. What’s more, it costs just £1.80 per portion to make.

Here’s how to make it.

Ingredients

• 600g sweet potatoes
• olive oil
• 2 salmon fillets, from sustainable sources
• 1 lemon
• 2 tbsp wholemeal flour, for dusting
• 1/4 white cabbage
• 4 large carrots
• 2 eating apples
• 1 tbsp hot chilli sauce
• 3 tbsp fat-free natural yogurt
• 200g frozen peas
• 1 ciabatta loaf

Instructions

Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160*C. Cut the potatoes into thin wedges. 

Place on a baking tray, drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil and season lightly. Bake for 30 mins or until golden and cooked through, turning halfway.  

Slice the fillets in half lengthways.

Grate over the lemon zest and squeeze over half the Juice. Dust with the flour, then season.

Grate the cabbage, carrots and apples. (Note: I only used two carrots in the end as there was a lot of slaw)

Squeeze over the remaining lemon juice, then mix with 1/2 tbsp chilli sauce and the yogurt.

Boll the peas for 3 mins, then drain, mash and season. Warm the ciabatta In the oven for 5 mins.

Place the salmon in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Cook for 6-8 mins or until just cooked through. (Note: I used a little spray oil in the pan to avoid sticking.)

Slice the bread open and spread over the peas. 

Pile on some slaw and top with the salmon. Add extra chilli sauce if you like.

Pop the lid on and slice into 4. Serve with the remaining slaw and the wedges.
