I have this lofty goal of one day having a binder full of delicious recipes I can make in no time at all and when I start to think that dream is impossible, a miracle recipe like this comes along. I took a technique for fish I saw on Everyday Food and turned it into a different, but delicious recipe.

Crunchy Fish Wrap

my recipe adapted from Everday Food, serves 3-4

1 lb. cod filet (or your favorite white fish), cut into 1″ strips

3 T. cornmeal (medium ground)

coarse salt and ground pepper

3 T. oil (high heat, flavorless variety)

Large handful of baby spinach

1 tomato, sliced or diced

1 avocado, sliced

4 whole wheat tortillas or other whole grain wrap

Spicy Mayo

1/2 C. good mayonnaise

1 t. cayenne pepper (it’s pretty spicy, but you spread it lightly)

*Have your wrap toppings ready because the fish cooks quickly!*

1. Pat fish dry and place in a shallow bowl. Sprinkle corn meal, salt and pepper over fish and toss to coat.

2. Heat oil in a cast iron or non-stick skillet over high heat. Brown fish on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Do not move fish during the first 2 minutes so it develops a nice golden brown crust. If you move it too soon, the fish will fall apart.

4. While fish is cooking, combine mayo and cayenne into a small bowl and mix well.

5. Transfer finished fish to a paper-towel lined plate and sprinkle with a bit more coarse salt, if desired.

6. Heat wraps in oven or microwave to soften or use my favorite method- put wrap or tortilla directly onto a medium-heat gas burner for a a few seconds until you see some dark brown spots, flip with tongs until the tortilla is warm and slightly crispy.

7. To assemble, take a warm tortilla or wrap, spread a layer of spicy mayo over it and then layer your favorite toppings with a few piece of crispy fish. Roll tortilla and serve.

Mmmm....spicy, crunchy goodness
