"My go to comfort food....Really enjoying this Crumbed Fish-it's just so easy with my air fryer also"-

I promise you, as I sit here eating my own dish, that just like all Purely Peach recipes, this Crumbed Fish and Slaw has been tried and tested to ensure that it not only works nutritionally in theory, but that it also works logistically in the cooking methods and to ensure full flavour for your enjoyment.

Even though I am no Chef, I absolutely LOVE creating and cooking in the kitchen and seeing the joy that yummy food can bring to my families dinner table. But I love even more that I can create, adapt and balance my recipes so that they are delicious yes, but also so that they can help you in achieving your weight loss goals and to support your digestive health also.

There is a never ending abundance of recipes available, but in some cases they may not support your body in the way needed. And so, it is definitely a fist pump moment when I have not only discovered a way to adapt a meal fave, but that it is also so yummy upon the first mouthful.

In this case, a lovely client of mine had mentioned that her go to comfort was a good old crumbed fish or chicken....and she would normally use the store brought sweet potato crumbed fish and pop it in the air fryer. Now while these types of products are perfectly ok to use on the odd occasion, upon looking over the nutritional information, it didn't take me long to find that they just aren't nutritionally balanced, in the way I find most suitable for weight loss.

Low protein, high fats and gluten/wheat, filler ingredients just not really needed. So while the convenience factor is there, we really do have to weigh up what is most important to us individually.

So, determined as I always am, I set off to create my own crumbed fish/chicken recipe which is simple, full of healthy fats and plenty of protein in order to keep you full and satisfied while still supporting you in your goals.

It is gluten and dairy free in order to minimise inflammation in the body and to prevent common digestive discomforts such as bloating, wind, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, pain etc. Believe it or not, normal crumbed fish/chicken will contain breadcrumbs and/or flour meaning that if your gut is sensitive to gluten/wheat containing foods, that harmless piece of fish may in fact have contributed to an uncomfortable stomach that day and/or night. And that is no fun for anyone.

Now I don't normally give away all of my recipe secrets haha, but this one was too delicious not to share........So next time you feel like fish and chips or a crumbed chicken schnitzel/parmy, try this quick and easy recipe instead. You can easily swap the Fish out for Chicken Breast, so it is versatile all around.

Ingredients

For the Fish

• 500g Barramundi

• 1/2 cup Almond Meal

• 4 Tbsp Black Chia Seeds

• Salt and Pepper

• Thyme

• Garlic granules

• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

• 1 Lemons-sliced into wedges

For the Slaw

• 3 Carrots

• 3 cups Green Cabbage

• 3 cups Red Cabbage

• 1/2 cup Dijon mustard

• 4 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

• 1 tsp Celery seeds (optional)

Chips

• 500g Sweet Potato

• Olive oil spray

• Salt and Pepper

• Garlic granules

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. Cut sweet potato into chips and place on baking tray. Spray with olive oil spray, season with salt, pepper and garlic granules.

3. Bake on 180 degrees until golden-turn half way through.

4. While chips are baking, prepare the fish and slaw.

5. Whisk 1 egg and set to the side.

6. Combine almond meal, chia seeds, salt, pepper, thyme and garlic granules in a separate bowl and mix well.

7. Coat each piece of fish with egg first and then coat in the crumb. Repeat for all pieces. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes.

8. While fish is setting, shred carrots, cabbage and beetroot preferably in a food processor, or alternatively grate or finely chop. Toss together.

9. Mix the dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and celery seeds together and add to the slaw. Mix well and set aside.

10. Heat a frying pan with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Remove fish from the fridge and once the pan is hot, place the fish in. Cook each side until golden brown around 4-5 minutes each side. **If using an air-fryer, brush the olive oil over the crumb of the fish prior to cooking to ensure a crunchy crumb.

11. Once cooked, serve 1/4 of the slaw with 1/4 of the fish and 1/4 of the sweet potato chips. Serve with a wedge of lemon and enjoy.
