Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia) - 200 grams
• Baguette - 1 medium
• Carrot - 50 grams, julienned
• Daikon radish - 50 grams, julienned
• Cucumber - 50 grams, thinly sliced
• Fresh cilantro - 10 grams, chopped
• Lime juice - 15 ml
• Fish sauce - 10 ml
• Mayonnaise - 20 grams (optional)
• Sriracha sauce - 5 grams (optional)
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Olive oil - 10 ml

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine the julienned carrot and daikon radish with lime juice, fish sauce, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and flaky. Remove from heat and let it rest.
4. While the fish is resting, slice the baguette in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Lightly toast it in the oven or on a skillet until crispy.
5. Spread mayonnaise on one side of the baguette (if using) and layer the cooked fish on the other side.
6. Add the pickled carrot and daikon mixture, cucumber slices, and chopped cilantro on top of the fish.
7. Drizzle with Sriracha sauce (if using) and close the sandwich. Cut in half and serve immediately.
