Coley is a great tasting white fish with a similar meaty texture to cod making it a versatile ingredient to use in fresh recipes like this one. Its flaky texture works brilliantly with the crunchy fennel remoulade which is packed with fibre, Vitamin C and potassium, and the nutty bulgar wheat and kale mix. In order to obtain the nutrients from dark leafy kale, and to save time washing up, we’ve steamed it in the same pan as the bulgar wheat and fluffed it up with salt and pepper for a delicious side.

Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
