Method

• step 1

  To make the sauce, chop the gherkin and capers together on a board, then tip into a small bowl with the mayonnaise, lemon juice and a pinch of salt, and mix together. If you have a mini chopper, tip in all the ingredients and whizz together. Can be made up to two days ahead and kept in the fridge.

• step 2

  To air-fry the frozen fish fillets, drizzle each side with the oil, then cook at 200C for 10-12 mins, turning halfway through until golden and crisp. Once the fish is cooked, top each fillet with a slice of cheese, if using, and return to the air fryer for 1 min to melt slightly. Toast the buns, then spread the bases with the tartare sauce. Add the lettuce, cheese-topped fish, finish with the bun tops and serve.
