- Dice the purple potatoes and red onion coarsely. Cook in a pan with some butter until lightly roasted, then add a splash of water and salt, and continue cooking.
- Prepare the batter: mix equal weight of all-purpose flour and rice flour. Add equal amounts of sparkling water and beer, stirring until a thick batter forms. Add some paprika. Let rest for 15 minutes if possible.
- Prepare the sauce: in a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, chopped olives, desalted capers, mint leaves, grated lemon and lime zest, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix well. Do not add lemon juice.
- Cut the cod into squares. Heat oil to 170-180°C. Dip the fish pieces in the batter and fry until golden and crispy. Drain and sprinkle with some paprika.
- Toast the multigrain bread in a dry pan.
- Assemble the sandwich: spread a generous layer of sauce on the bread. Add the roasted purple potatoes, then the fried fish. Top with more lemon and lime zest. Close the sandwich.
- If frying for many people, pre-fry the fish for 2-3 minutes and then refry at 180°C for the last minute for a freshly fried result.
