3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place melted butter in a small dish and add juice of 1/2 lemon.
  • Combine all ingredients for the tartar sauce in a small bowl.

  • Season the fish simply: A simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and lemon juice will allow the natural flavor of the fish to shine through.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Use a nonstick grill pan or spray your grill grates with cooking spray: This will help to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • Cook the fish until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork: This is the best way to ensure that the fish is cooked through without overcooking it.
  • Serve the fish sandwiches immediately: This is when they are at their best.
