Method

• step 1

  Combine the celery, pepper, onion, vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl, and mix well. Set aside.

• step 2

  Mix together the mayo, gherkins, garlic and lemon juice with a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.

• step 3

  Heat a barbecue for direct cooking. For the spice mix, combine the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, white pepper, thyme, oregano and 1 tbsp of salt in a wide, shallow bowl. Dip the fish fillets in the melted butter until fully coated, then dip into the spice mixture to coat.

• step 4

  If using a fish cage, put the fish inside and secure the cage. If not, make sure the grill is clean and oil the bars using a piece of kitchen paper, cloth or a brush (don’t pour oil directly onto the grill). This will help prevent the fish from sticking.

• step 5

  Cook the fish for 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and blackened in places – the exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.

• step 6

  Split the buns, spread with the mayonnaise and add some of the lettuce and chopped salad. Top with the fish, then close the sandwiches and serve.
