Spicy Fish Wraps: Quick, Healthy & Delicious Meals with Calphalon Nonstick Cookware
Today’s post is brimming with excitement, not just because I’m sharing a fantastic recipe for quick and healthy spicy fish wraps, but also because I’m hosting my biggest giveaway to date! It features a product I genuinely adore and have relied on in my kitchen for many years: Calphalon cookware. As a home cook, I’m often asked about my preferred nonstick skillets, and after trying countless brands over the years, I can confidently say that Calphalon has consistently been my go-to choice.
Our nonstick skillets are indispensable in our daily cooking routine. My husband frequently whips up eggs for breakfast, and I find them perfect for creating delicious frittatas, expertly cooking fish, and preparing speedy vegetable sautes. Given my constant effort to minimize the amount of oil and butter in our meals, a high-quality nonstick skillet is an absolute kitchen essential. It allows for healthier cooking without sacrificing flavor or texture, providing a seamless cooking experience every time.
(Pictured here is the Calphalon Unison Nonstick 10″ Omelet Pan – requiring only 1/2 a teaspoon of coconut oil for this recipe, showcasing its superior nonstick capabilities.)
Fish is a staple in my family’s diet, appearing on our dinner table several times a week. While I often broil salmon for its rich flavor and Omega-3 benefits, I have a particular fondness for pan-frying seasoned white fish, such as flounder or tilapia, for incredibly quick and satisfying weeknight meals. These delicate fillets cook up in mere minutes, making them a versatile protein that pairs beautifully with fresh veggies, crowns a vibrant salad, or, as I’m demonstrating today, forms the heart of a delicious, light wrap.
The secret to perfectly seared fish with minimal effort and oil lies in using a high-quality nonstick skillet like the Calphalon Unison. Its advanced nonstick surface significantly reduces the need for excessive oil, allowing you to achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust while keeping your meal lean and healthy. I typically use a mere half to one teaspoon of oil each time I cook in my Calphalon nonstick skillet, and the food literally glides out of the pan and onto the plate. This exceptional release ensures no sticking and effortless cleanup, a dream come true for any busy cook.
These Spicy Fish Wraps are truly ideal for those moments when you crave a meal that is both speedy and light, perfect for either lunch or dinner. You only need a handful of fresh ingredients – flavorful white fish, your choice of whole wheat wraps, and an assortment of crisp, colorful vegetables – along with a simple, kicked-up mayonnaise. The result is a satisfying and wholesome meal you can genuinely feel good about. While I always appreciate a good fish sandwich, there are times I prefer to avoid the heavy feeling that can come with a large piece of bread. Opting for whole wheat wraps keeps these wraps lighter, and thanks to the fiber and protein they provide, you’ll still feel wonderfully full and satisfied without feeling weighed down.
One of the best aspects of these wraps is their incredible versatility. You can easily customize them to suit your taste preferences. For this particular recipe, I used a classic seafood seasoning blend, which imparts a delicious, savory flavor. However, I’m a big fan of blackened fish, so next time I prepare these, I plan to experiment with my favorite blackening seasoning for an extra layer of bold, smoky spice. Beyond the fish seasoning, you can vary the vegetables; think thinly sliced cucumbers, crunchy cabbage slaw, or even some diced avocado for creamy richness. I served our wraps alongside some perfectly roasted sweet potatoes, which add a lovely sweetness and another healthy component. They would also be excellent paired with a fresh coleslaw, a vibrant green salad, or a side of crispy baked chips for a satisfying crunch. The possibilities are truly endless, allowing you to create your perfect healthy and delicious wrap.
Spicy Fish Wraps and $500 Calphalon Gift Card Giveaway
Author: Aggie’s Kitchen
Yield: 2 sandwiches 1x
Category: Fish
Method: Stovetop
Ingredients
- 2 4-5 oz white fish fillets (I used flounder, but tilapia would be great too!)
- 1 tablespoon flour (I used white whole wheat flour)
- 1 tablespoon Chef Prudhomme Seafood Magic or any seafood seasoning blend
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil (or cooking oil of choice)
For spicy mayonnaise:
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1/2 teaspoon honey (optional)
- splash apple cider vinegar (optional)
- tiny pinch salt and pepper
For wraps:
- 2 wraps
- shredded romaine
- shredded carrots
- thinly sliced red onion or red/yellow bell pepper, optional
Instructions
- Prepare spicy mayonnaise first by combining ingredients in a small bowl, set aside.
- Prepare your fish seasoning by combining flour and seafood seasoning in a large plate. Take your fish fillets and gently pat until completely dry on both sides. Set aside until your pan is ready.
- Pre-heat your nonstick pan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add your oil to pan and let heat up. You can test if its ready by sprinkling a small amount of flour mixture in oil, if it sizzles, it’s ready.
- Lightly coat your fish fillets in the flour and seasoning mixture, pressing down gently on both sides. Shake off any excess flour and place in your pan. Cook both fillets on bottom side for 2-3 minutes and carefully flip. Cook for about another 2 minutes or until browned on both sides. Carefully slide your fish onto a plate and set aside.
- Begin to assemble your wraps by spreading the spicy mayo on wrap, then topping with fish fillet and your veggies. Flip up bottom third of wrap, then pull in both sides into middle to turn into a “sandwich”.
Notes
You can keep your kicked up mayonnaise simple and spicy by just using sriracha and mayonnaise. I mellowed out the kick (but kept the flavor) by adding a little drip of honey and splash of vinegar. The choice is yours.
