Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-5 oz each) Cod fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.75 cup Club soda
- 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 pieces Dairy-free hamburger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce

Instructions
Start by preparing the tartar sauce. In a small bowl, combine the dairy-free mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, lemon juice, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Season the cod fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the club soda while whisking until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or medium saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Dip each seasoned cod fillet into the batter, letting excess batter drip off.
Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fillets are golden brown and crispy. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the fillets from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
While the fish fillets are draining, lightly toast the dairy-free hamburger buns.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading a generous amount of the tartar sauce on both the top and bottom halves of the bun.
Place a fried fish fillet on the bottom half of each bun, top with a lettuce leaf, and cover with the top bun half.
Serve the Dairy-Free Homemade Filet-O-Fish sandwiches with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
