• fish cakes – mix with leftover mashed potato, coat in breadcrumbs, spritz with oil and bake in the oven
• fajitas – stir fish into cooked spicy onions and peppers and heat thoroughly, then serve in a wrap with shredded lettuce, tzatziki and grated cheese
• sandwich and jacket potato fillings – mix leftover prawns or tinned tuna or salmon with reduced-fat mayo and use to fill sandwiches, wraps, rolls or jacket spuds
• paté – mix leftover tinned fish with reduced-fat crème fraiche, fat-free fromage frais or low-fat Greek yogurt and a little lemon juice and zest
• omelette – add fish to an omelette with your favourite vegetables
