Instructions

Step 1

Peel and mince garlic; mince capers. Transfer both to a small bowl along with mayo, vinegar, Dijon, and pepper. Whisk to combine the tartar sauce; set aside.

Step 2

Combine oil, vinegar, Dijon, maple syrup, salt, and pepper in a salad bowl; whisk to combine the dressing.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice onion into half rounds. Set half of the onions aside on a plate. Add the other half to the bowl with the dressing and stir to combine.

Step 4

Wash and dry the tomatoes, then halve and slice them. Place half of the tomatoes on the plate; transfer the other half to the salad bowl.

Step 5

Drain and thinly slice artichoke hearts; transfer to the salad bowl. Set aside while you prepare the fish.

Step 6

Whisk egg in a medium bowl.

Step 7

Place bread crumbs in a second medium bowl.

Step 8

Pat the fish dry with paper towels and place on a plate. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 9

Sprinkle flour over both sides of each fillet. Press gently to adhere.

Step 10

Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 11

To bread the fish, dip each fillet into the egg, and then the bread crumbs. Press gently to adhere.

Step 12

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add fish to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Once done, transfer to a clean plate lined with paper towel.

Step 13

Meanwhile, toast the rolls.

Step 14

Wash and dry the lettuce; separate the leaves. Set aside 2 large leaves per sandwich. Chop or tear remaining leaves into bite-sized pieces, add to the salad bowl and toss to combine.

Step 15

Place the bottom half of a roll on each plate. Layer with tartar sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a crispy fish fillet; close with top half of the roll. Serve salad on the side and enjoy!
