3 Reasons why its heart healthy:

  1. Making your own fish fingers ensures they contain more fish and, as a result, a higher protein content compared to store-bought versions. Protein helps keep you feeling fuller for longer, which can help prevent overeating.
  2. Serving this on wholewheat bread boosts the sandwich’s fibre content, and a fibre-rich diet is beneficial for heart health.
  3. Using fresh, flavourful ingredients like lemon juice and dill in this recipe means you don’t need to season with additional salt. Consuming too much salt can negatively impact blood pressure.
