Method
1. Combine the garnish ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and set aside.
2. Dress the calamari with olive oil and a pinch of salt.
3. Pre-heat a heavy-based frypan until very hot.
4. Add the calamari to the hot pan in a single layer. Turn after 1 minute to ensure the edges have caramelised, then transfer onto a plate.
5. Dress with a squeeze of lemon juice.
6. To assemble, garnish the bread with mayonnaise, salad garnish, then two pieces of calamari. Secure with a skewer and serve immediately.
