Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (4-6 oz. each) Cod fillets (or other white fish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 Soft hamburger buns
- 2 American cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, add panko breadcrumbs.
Coat each cod fillet in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep.
Fry the breaded fish fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, pickle relish, and lemon juice to make a quick tartar sauce.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns in a dry skillet or toaster.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading the tartar sauce on the bottom half of the bun. Place the fried fish fillet on top, add a slice of American cheese, and finish with the top bun.
Serve the Filet O Fish sandwiches warm and enjoy!
