Method

Dry the fish on kitchen paper, then smear all over with the curry paste. Mix the polenta with the spring onions, lemon juice and zest on a plate. Press the fish into the polenta to cover.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the fish for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper.
Spread the rolls or bread with a little mayonnaise. Top with the salad leaves, cress, fish, cucumber and pickle. Serve with lime wedges.
