What is good about wrap with crispy plaice
This Wrap with Crispy Plaice offers a satisfying texture because of the golden breadcrumbs on the fish. Plaice is a mild flatfish that stays juicy when fried quickly in a pan. You can easily adjust the toppings to suit your taste with different salads or sauces. It is a great way to eat more fish during the week without spending much time in the kitchen.
How to make wrap with crispy plaice
Prepare the fish: Pat the plaice fillets dry with a paper towel and cut them into strips. Place the flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs into three separate shallow bowls. Dip each fish strip into the flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Fry the plaice: Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded fish strips for a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the pan and place it on a plate with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Prepare the wraps: Warm the tortilla wraps slightly in a dry pan or microwave to make them easier to roll. Spread a spoonful of tartare sauce over the centre of each wrap. Add a layer of shredded lettuce and sliced tomato on top of the sauce.
Assemble and serve: Place the fried fish strips from your Wrap with Crispy Plaice onto the bed of salad. Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it up tightly to secure the filling. Serve the wraps immediately while the fish is still hot and crunchy.

Using fresh, seasonal salad leaves will help keep the meal light and refreshing for a summer lunch.
