    Method

    • Step-by-Step Method for Ultimate Fish Finger Sandwich
    • Slice bread into four thick slices and set aside
    • Wash and dry lettuce leaves; set aside for assembly
    • Preheat oven to 200°C (fan) or prepare a non-stick frying pan for shallow frying
    • Cut cod or haddock fillets into evenly sized strips for fish fingers
    • Season fish strips lightly with salt and pepper
    • Set up three separate shallow dishes: one with plain flour, one with lightly beaten eggs, one with breadcrumbs mixed with the finely grated Parmesan
    • Dredge each fish strip in flour, ensuring all sides are coated
    • Dip floured fish strips in beaten egg, coating thoroughly
    • Roll egg-coated fish strips in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere
    • Arrange crumbed fish fingers on a baking tray (if baking) and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, or set aside for frying
    • Bake in oven for 12-15 minutes, turning once, until crisp and cooked through, or shallow-fry in olive oil over medium heat until golden on all sides and cooked (about 2-3 minutes per side)
    • While fish fingers cook, thinly slice gherkins for the sandwich and finely chop additional gherkins for the sauce
    • In a bowl, prepare tomato tartare sauce: mix mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, capers, finely chopped gherkins, flat-leaf parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, horseradish sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste
    • When fish fingers are golden and cooked through, remove from heat and rest briefly on a paper towel to drain excess oil if fried
    • Lay out two slices of bread; spread generously with prepared tomato tartare sauce
    • Layer with lettuce leaves and arrange sliced gherkins over the lettuce
    • Place hot fish fingers over lettuce and gherkins
    • Top with remaining slices of bread
    • Press sandwiches gently and slice in half if desired
    • Serve immediately, optionally garnished with lemon wedges and extra sauce on the side
