Recently I’ve had it in my head that I need to eat more fish at home. Seeing as though I live on an island with an abundance of fantastic fresh fish available it shouldn’t be too much of a challenge. I used Chilean Sea Bass for this sandwich but you could also use cod, grouper or any other white flaky fish.
Keeping with that thought I decided to make this sandwich and it was so fantastic!! Light, flaky fish and tangy, zesty tartar sauce. It wasn’t too big or too small-just right. These sandwiches came together in no time. While the fish is cooking you prepare the sauce.
Grilled Chilean Sea Bass Sandwich with Homemade Tartar Sauce

- salt & pepper for seasoning

Instructions:
- Pre-heat a stove top grill pan to medium heat (you can also use an outdoor grill).
- Drizzle fish with olive oil on all sides and then season with salt and pepper.
- Place fish on the grill and cook for about 3 minutes on each side (depending on the size of the fish) until fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Place fish, lettuce and tartar sauce (recipe below) on a bun and enjoy.
