Instructions

Preparation time 25 minutes
Cooking time 10 minutes

In a food processor add the torn bread with the parsley and lemon zest and whiz until you have a lovely fine crumb. Tip into a bowl.

Place the flour into another bowl and the egg into a third bowl.

Cut the fish into 2-3cm wide strips. Toss in the flour, then the egg followed by the breadcrumbs. Take a large frying pan, gently heat the sunflower oil over a medium heat and cook the goujons for 2-3 minutes on both sides. Keep warm in a low oven.

For the tartare sauce simply mix all the ingredients until well combined.

Once made, the tartare sauce will keep in a fridge for a couple of days.

To assemble your sandwich add a small handful of watercress to your buttered bread, top with a few thin slices of radish, then your plaice goujons. Add a generous spoonful of tartare sauce and another slice of buttered bread. Slice and serve. Delicious!
