Cooking Instructions

Mix the salt, pepper, curry powder and cayenne pepper to make a rub. Rub the fish with the spice mix and sprinkle with the balsamic vinegar or lemon juice and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the fish for 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

When cool enough to handle, cut each portion in half. Remove the skin and bones.

To make the cabbage relish, heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan and sauté the onion and garlic until soft, about 2 minutes.

Add the spices, star anise and lemon leaf and fry for 1 minute. Add the cabbage, apple and drained raisins and fry until soft, about 5 to 8 minutes.

Stir in the milk and chutney and cook until combined, then add the sugar and season to taste.

Add the lemon juice and zest and stir until well combined. Set aside to cool slightly. Remove the star anise and lemon leaf. 

To assemble, place equal amounts of the cabbage relish on four slices of the bread, top each with a portion of fish, finishing with the egg and the second slice of bread.
