Renew the Menu: Fish Flatbread with Tartare Sauce

Fish wraps. This one was inspired by a recent episode of My Kitchen Rules- yes I admit it I love this show! I avoided watching it for the first few seasons but one weekend whilst heavily pregnant with Miss M I got sucked in. Since then I look forward to its return to our screens, the drama and yes, the cooking. The Calamari wraps the Victorian Twins cooked last week looked so appealing husband and I were almost salivating on the TV screen, so this sparked this Renew the Menu meal: Fish Flatbreads with Tartare Sauce.

Any firm-ish fish would work well here, 500 grams was just enough for 2 adults and two hungry toddlers so adjust the amount of fish to suit your hungry hoard. I have been making this flatbread recipe for quite a while, normally we eat it with polpette (Italian meatballs) but thought it would work well here too. The tartare sauce is quite runny compared to the traditional one but is much better for you as I make it with yoghurt. This meal is easy, the only bit that takes a bit of coordination is cooking the flatbreads whilst cooking the fish. You could easily make the flatbreads first then cook the fish but I think the bread tastes best whilst still warm.
