Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup cold sparkling water
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup sliced cucumber
- 1 carrot, julienned
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry using paper towels and set them aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the cold sparkling water, whisking until the batter is smooth.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Season the breadcrumbs with black pepper.
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then press it into the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, coating it evenly.
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the coated fish fillets in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, grated ginger, and lemon juice until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Toast the burger buns lightly in a dry skillet or toaster, if desired.
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of the wasabi-ginger sauce on both halves of each bun. Layer with lettuce, cucumber slices, and julienned carrot. Place a crispy fish fillet on top and close the sandwich.
Serve the Crispy Fish Sandwiches fresh and warm. Enjoy!
