Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Grouper fillets
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 small Tomato
- 4 slices Pickles
- 0.25 cup Tartar sauce
Instructions
Start by patting the grouper fillets dry with a paper towel.
In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk.
Dip each grouper fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat each fillet in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the coated fillets into the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fillets from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
While the fish cools slightly, butter the hamburger buns and toast them in a separate pan or toaster until golden brown.
To assemble the sandwich, spread tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Place the crispy grouper fillet on top of the tartar sauce.
Top each fillet with a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a couple of pickle slices.
Finish by placing the top bun and enjoy your crispy grouper sandwich.
