    • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
    • 4 tablespoons tartare sauce
    • 2 teaspoons mustard
    • A few dashes of Tabasco
    • 400g breaded chunky cod or haddock fillets

    • 1 Little Gem lettuce, leaves separated

    Method

    • Step-by-Step Method for Crispy Fish Sandwiches with Spicy Tartare
    • Finely slice the red onion.
    • In a small bowl, mix the finely sliced red onion with the caster sugar and white wine vinegar.
    • Set the onion mixture aside to lightly pickle while preparing other ingredients.
    • Slice the cucumber in half lengthways and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.
    • Thinly slice the seeded cucumber into strips or ribbons.
    • Separate the Little Gem lettuce leaves and wash if needed, then pat dry.
    • Mix the tartare sauce with mustard and a few dashes of Tabasco in a small bowl until fully combined to make the spicy tartare sauce.
    • Toast the split soft buns under a grill or on a dry pan until golden brown.
    • Cook the breaded cod or haddock fillets according to package instructions until crispy and cooked through (typically bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 18–22 minutes, turning once).
    • When the fish has 3 minutes left, lay a slice of cheese on each fillet and return to the oven to melt.
    • Drain the quick-pickled onions of excess liquid.
    • Assemble each sandwich by layering a toasted bun base, a leaf of Little Gem lettuce, a few cucumber slices, a cheesy fish fillet, and pickled onions.
    • Spoon some spicy tartare sauce over the top and cap with the other half of the bun.
    • Serve immediately while the fish is hot.
    • Suggest plating with extra lettuce leaves or cucumber ribbons on the side for crunch and freshness.
    • Suggest serving with extra spicy tartare sauce on the side for dipping.
    • Steps for pickling, slicing, mixing, and assembly can be partially parallelized for efficiency.
    • Clear isolation of each stage makes it beginner-friendly or easy for a team.
    • Only the listed ingredients are used, and the plating suggestion is value-added.
