Ingredients

cucumber ½, halved lengthways and seeds scraped out
red onion ½ small, finely sliced
caster sugar ½ tsp
white wine vinegar 2 tsp
tartare sauce 4 tbsp
American mustard 2 tsp
Tabasco a few dashes
breaded chunky cod or haddock fillets 350-400g pack
monterey jack or emmental 4 slices

Method

Step 1

Chop the cucumber into very thin slices and put in a bowl with the onion, sugar and vinegar. Season and toss. Mix together the tartare sauce, mustard and Tabasco.
Step 2

Cook the fish following pack instructions then cut in half to make 4 squarish pieces. Top with a cheese slice and return to the oven for a minute or so until melted.
Step 3

To assemble the sandwiches, spread the bun bottoms with a little spicy tartare, add a couple of lettuce leaves, and some of the drained cucumber and onion, then top with a piece of fish, more sauce and the bun tops.
