A fairly light dinner was required as it was Saturday night and we were going out. I also haven’t made breaded fish before, so thought I’d give it a go.

I set three plates up; one with plain flour, one with a beaten egg and one with some seasoned wholemeal breadcrumbs plus added, dried jalapêno chillies. I then just placed a piece of haddock on the first plate, turned it and worked my way through each plate until the fish was breaded. Once it’s breaded, stick it in a frying pan with some oil (I used groundnut) and cook it for about 5 mins on each side.

Instead of making a tartare sauce to go with it (I’ll save that for another time), I put gherkins in with the iceberg lettuce. Despite it being quite unfashionable, I really like iceberg lettuce, as it always has a good, clean, crunchy taste, which is a good contrast to have with any fried food.

Instead of chips, I decided to go with the sauteed potatoes again, which seemed to work quite well.

Serve with ketchup and mayo, as desired.
