Pro Tips & Suggestions

Expert advice for the best results

For a spicier sandwich, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.

If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes, use roasted red peppers instead.

Toast the bread in the oven if you don't have a grill pan.

Make sure to cool the fish completely before adding it to the filling to prevent the mayonnaise from melting.
