Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put 1 thinly sliced pink onion* in a colander and pour over boiling water; drain. Mix 100ml red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp caster sugar and ¼ tsp salt in a bowl, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Add the onion, toss, then cover and set aside to pickle.
  2. Put 4 cod fish fingers on a baking tray and cook to pack instructions, adding 2 halved paninis, cut side up, for the last 3 mins of cooking time. Set aside to cool a little. Meanwhile, cut 8 slices of cucumber, finely chop and stir into 2½ tbsp of tartare sauce; season with black pepper. Divide the tartare sauce mixture between the paninis.
  3. Add ¼ of the pickled pink onion rings, top with 2 fish fingers and a handful of watercress, rocket & spinach salad (from an 80g pack). Top with the other half of the panini to serve.

*If you can’t find pink onions, sweet onions will work just as well in this recipe.
