Go to a Vietnamese market to gather ingredients for a fish banh mi sandwich.

Select fresh salmon and halibut fillets.

Cube the salmon and halibut into about 1 inch cubes.

Marinate the cubed fish in a Ziploc bag with about 1/2 cup of soy sauce and 2-3 dashes of hot sauce. Massage the bag to ensure the fish is coated and refrigerate.

Cut the carrots and daikon radish into sticks, starting by cutting one side flat for stability. Slice the carrots into about 1/8 inch slices and do the same with the daikon.

Cut the carrot and daikon slices into ribbons to create sticks.

Mix the cut vegetables in a bowl and add a handful of bean sprouts.

Prepare the pickling sauce by combining 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon of salt, and 1.5 tablespoons of sugar. Mix well and pour over the vegetables. Refrigerate until needed.

Heat a frying pan and add about 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Cook half of the marinated fish in the frying pan, avoiding overcrowding to ensure proper searing.

Once the first batch of fish is cooked, remove it and cook the second batch.

Slice the Vietnamese baguettes in half and place them under the broiler until toasted, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Assemble the sandwich by spreading mayonnaise on one half of the baguette and butter on the other half.

Layer the pickled vegetables, cooked fish, and fresh herbs (Vietnamese basil and mint) inside the baguette.
