Steps:
- For the pesto, whizz all ingredients in a blender, slowly pouring in the oil while blending until it forms a smooth, nutty paste. Season well and add a splash of water if it's too thick. Set aside.
- For the lemon mayo, mix all the ingredients together and season.
- To make the batter, sift the flours together, then whisk, while slowly adding water. Continue until your batter is a thick but runny consistency. It should stick to your finger when you dip it in. Season.
- Set a deep-fat fryer to 180C, or in a large pan filled no more than a third full, heat the oil until a piece of bread browns in 20 seconds. Meanwhile, check the haddock fillets for bones, season them and coat them in plain flour. Then dip each fillet in to the batter until each has a good coating. Place the fillets in to the deep-fat fryer or pan (make sure you give it a gentle shake so it doesn't stick to the bottom). Cook until the batter becomes brown and crisp, around 4 mins. Remove and place on kitchen roll to soak up any oil.
- To assemble, spread each tortilla with some of the pesto, then a tablespoon of lemon mayo. Add a handful of salad leaves and the cucumber, then top with the fish and more pesto. Season, wrap up and serve.

Tips:
- For the perfect crispy haddock, use a light batter made with flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. The cornstarch helps to create a crispy crust.
- To ensure that the haddock is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C).
- To make the pesto, use fresh basil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and olive oil. For a creamier pesto, add a little bit of mayonnaise.
- To assemble the wrap, spread some pesto on a tortilla wrap, then top with the fried haddock, sliced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and wrap it up tightly.
- For a healthier version of the wrap, use a whole-wheat tortilla and skip the mayonnaise in the pesto.
