Servings: persons

2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 small shallot, minced
1/4 cup minced dill pickles
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons capers, drained, rinsed and minced
2 tablespoons finely minced parsley
freshly cracked pepper, to taste
12 small slider rolls, sliced in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons salted butter
12 small pieces of little gem, bibb, or other delicate lettuce
2 plum tomatoes, cut into 12 even slices
1 pound skinless barramundi fillets, cut into 12 2-inch squares
2 tablespoons blackening seasoning
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 toothpicks, for serving

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, shallot, pickles, lemon zest, lemon juice, capers, parsley and pepper, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then place the slider rolls in the pan cut side down. Cook until lightly browned and toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove to a serving platter and top each bottom roll with a small piece of lettuce and a slice of tomato.
3
Coat the barramundi pieces all over with blackening seasoning. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet (cast iron works best) over high heat. Cook the barramundi pieces until blackened on one side, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side until opaque throughout, about 1-2 minutes more.
4
Place a piece of fish on each bun on top of the tomato, then spoon a generous amount of lemon tartar sauce on top. Place the top bun over the sauce and secure with a toothpick. Serve immediately.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions
