    1 Boil potatoes in a large saucepan over a medium heat for 12-15 minutes until tender. Add corn during the last 2 minutes of cooking time. Drain and return to pan. Roughly mash. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes. Once cool, add tuna, onions and 1 beaten egg white. Stir to combine.

    2 Place the remaining egg white and quinoa into separate shallow dishes. Shape 1/3 cupfuls of mixture to make 8 small sausage shapes. Dip fish fingers in egg then coat in quinoa.

    3 Heat oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook fish fingers, turning, for 7-10 minutes until golden. Serve with salad, lemon wedges and tomato sauce.
