Tinned Fish Jacket Potatoes

If you’re looking for another way to use tinned fish, this is a great way to turn them into a full meal.

Let me introduce you to one of my favorite ways to eat tinned fish. Jacket potatoes bake in the oven with salt all over, then pour your tinned fish into foil (it’s safer that way) and roast it alongside the potatoes. The oil from the tinned fish gets all bubbly and concentrated with flavor, and the fish itself gets warm and so supremely savory.

Put it all together with a bright cucumber salad and it’s one of my best lunches. And you barely had to do anything.
