What is “Shaanka”? You would ask. It’s not a what, it’s a who.
“Shaanka “ is a term of endearment that we used to call our daughter.
Shaanka is a patient and empathetic person. The traits she got from her father. She is very strong in mind, a trait she inherited from my mother.
She is happily married, the second time, to a young man we call Best-Son-in-Law-Ever. No need to tell you the reason we call him with that term of endearment.
I thank God for that.
Back to the recipe.
Ansley Eats the Street, Season 1: episode 1, Istanbul Street foods. This episode inspired me to create this recipe. In the show, a fish sandwich with grilled mackerel was served on a bed of veggies that seemed like to have been seasoned in some kind of dressing.
Having no clues of what exactly was in the original recipe, I decided to create my own. As Shaanka is very adventurous in trying new thing, I named this recipe after “her name”.

Steps

1

I got this kind of white fish. Don’t know how the whole fish looks like, but I tried it before and liked the taste. Besides, they come in fillet.
2

Sprinkle some salt and pepper on both sides of fish. Set aside for 15 minutes. Dab flour on both sides. Dip in eggs. Dab bread crumbs also on both sides.
3

Wash the greens and drain well.
4

In a small bowl, put olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar(a pinch or two), chopped capers, lemon zest and lemon juice.
5

In a bowl, put 1/3 cup of mayonnaise. Add wasabi little by little to get the desired taste. Chop dill finely and add to mayonnaise. Mix well. Keep refrigerated until needed.
6

On medium high heat, fry fish fillet until golden brown.
7

I got this kind of bread. Forgot the name. I think it started with a “b”, ended in “o” and quite a few “l’ in between. Pre- heat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut bread into halves. Put in oven for 4 minutes.
8

In a mixing bowl, put enough greens for number of sandwiches. Pour mixture of olive oil, salt, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and capers. Mix well.
9

Spread wasabi mayonnaise on both sides of bread. Put enough greens on the bottom half. Put piece of fish on top of greens. Spread some more mayonnaise on fish. Add sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle salt and pepper on tomatoes. Done!
