Cooking Instructions

1. Let’s kick things off by pickling our veggies. Mix the white vinegar and sugar until dissolved.
2. Thinly slice the vegetables and submerge them in the vinegar mix, letting them sit for at least 20 minutes.
3. Time for some fishy business! Season your fish fillets with salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, and paprika.
4. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
5. Gently lay the fillets into the sizzling pan, letting them cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Slice the baguette in half, and then lengthwise, ensuring not to cut through entirely.
7. Place the spiced fish fillets inside the baguette.
8. Top it up with the drained pickled vegetables.
9. For that final flourish, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top.

Tips

1. The longer you let the vegetables pickle, the tangier they’ll get.
2. Feel like turning up the heat? Add a dash of chili flakes to your fish.
3. The baguette’s crust should be crisp, and the insides soft. Warm it up slightly before assembly.
4. A squeeze of fresh lime can add another layer of freshness to your sandwich.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve the Spiced fish and pickled vegetable baguette immediately. Why wait when there’s a flavor fiesta waiting for you?
• Pair it up with an apple, avocado, and watercress salad. A refreshing counterpart to the spicy and tangy baguette.
• A glass of iced tea or a tangy lemonade could be the beverage of choice here.
• And if you’re really going all out, some baked sweet potato fries would be an absolute treat on the side.
