Stir in the thyme and hot sauce.
Pulse the giardiniera, olives, and parsley in a food processor until finely dices. Add the olive oil and pulse again. Set aside.
Brush the fish with the garlic butter and season with old bay and pepper (I used a ton of Old Bay, but I’m from the east coast. That’s how we roll.)

Serve the rolls toasted with heaping portions of the olive relish on top. Place fish, lettuce, and the top with the rolls.
